## Verdict summary
**Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 19 finding(s) warrant review before installing.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Matched warn-list
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Credential Exfiltration
- **Selected version:** 1.0.16
- **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 configurable destination and token forwarding create a concrete conditional credential-exposure risk. The package has no lifecycle hook or evidence of an automatic malicious action.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 87.0%
- **Started:** 2026-09-24T01:43:03.241Z

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:** A configurable operator WebSocket receives a computer token when the CLI runs. No confirmed covert attack surface was identified, but the destination is not restricted in the inspected code.

- **Trigger:** A user runs the octoagent CLI with an operator URL from its options, environment, or saved configuration.

- **Impact:** A user-selected or environment-controlled operator host could receive a valid computer token; static inspection does not establish malicious use.

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

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-24T01:44:32.718Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The CLI forms /ws/computer from the selected operator URL and adds the computer token to the connection query string.

- **Rationale:** The configurable destination and token forwarding create a concrete conditional credential-exposure risk. The package has no lifecycle hook or evidence of an automatic malicious action.

- **Network endpoints:** /ws/computer

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 87.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** The CLI accepts an operator WebSocket URL from a command value, environment variable, or saved configuration without a host allowlist., It builds a WebSocket endpoint from that URL and sends the computer token as a query parameter., Package metadata exposes a CLI entry point and contains no npm lifecycle hook.

- **Evidence against:** No install-time script or self-dependency is declared., No hidden default recipient or confirmed unauthorized data transfer was identified.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @octavus/agent@1.0.16.

- Review the evidence and your use of @octavus/agent@1.0.16 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.
