## Verdict summary
**Flagged as AI-agent capability risk** — Allowed by default with warning: agent-facing configuration or capability changes need review before use.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Warn-only AI-agent capability risk
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** AI-agent capability abuse
- **Selected version:** 1.0.15
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions.

AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

The package is not malicious by the install-hook standard, but it provides a dangerous remote AI-agent capability with local command execution and remote communication. Warn so consumers can assess the intended trust boundary.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0%
- **Started:** 2026-09-14T04:48:04.147Z

The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Running octoagent grants a cloud-connected agent local shell, filesystem, browser, and computer-control capabilities. Command output can be returned through the agent session.

- **Trigger:** A user runs the octoagent CLI with an authenticated agent and prompt.

- **Impact:** A compromised or overly privileged cloud agent could read, alter, or expose data available in its selected workspace and local environment.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/index.js, dist/code-mcp/index.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-14T04:49:09.828Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** Cloud-directed local agent tooling with shell command execution.

- **Rationale:** The package is not malicious by the install-hook standard, but it provides a dangerous remote AI-agent capability with local command execution and remote communication. Warn so consumers can assess the intended trust boundary.

- **Files touched:** user-selected --workdir, ~/.octavus/\<env\>/config.json

- **Network endpoints:** octavus.ai

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 90.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for warning:** The user-invoked CLI provisions shell, filesystem, browser, and computer-control tools for a cloud agent., Its code MCP accepts a command and sends it to a shell execution helper, so remote agent instructions can produce local command output., The package connects runs to the Octavus platform and stores an API key locally.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, postinstall, or other lifecycle script., The privileged behavior is reached only by running the octoagent command; it is not install-time or import-time., No source evidence shows covert credential harvesting, stealth persistence, or destructive automatic behavior.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @octavus/agent@1.0.15.

- Review the evidence and your use of @octavus/agent@1.0.15 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report.
- Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe.
