## 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:** 1.0.6
- **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.

Source inspection found no lifecycle hook or concealed automatic payload, but it deliberately gives a remotely controlled agent broad local execution and data-access capabilities after explicit user invocation. This is a dangerous dual-use agent capability and warrants a warning rather than a malware block.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0%
- **Started:** 2026-08-30T00:28:42.098Z
- **Finished:** 2026-08-30T00:29:57.333Z

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 user who runs octoagent grants a remote Octavus agent shell, filesystem, browser, and screen-control capabilities in the selected workspace. The package sends the prompt and API key to the configured Octavus service and accepts operator-session control.

- **Trigger:** The user runs octoagent auth and then octoagent run with an API key and prompt.

- **Impact:** A compromised platform account, key, or remote agent configuration could act on files, commands, browser sessions, and screen content available to the invoked workspace.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/index.js, dist/filesystem-mcp.mjs, dist/browser-extension-mcp.js, dist/computer-mcp/dist/index.js, dist/screen-publisher/index.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-30T00:29:57.333Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Remote agent session dispatch through local filesystem, shell, browser, and computer-control services.

- **Rationale:** Source inspection found no lifecycle hook or concealed automatic payload, but it deliberately gives a remotely controlled agent broad local execution and data-access capabilities after explicit user invocation. This is a dangerous dual-use agent capability and warrants a warning rather than a malware block.

- **Files touched:** dist/index.js, dist/filesystem-mcp.mjs, dist/browser-extension-mcp.js, dist/computer-mcp/dist/index.js, dist/screen-publisher/index.js, ~/.octavus/\<env\>/config.json, \<selected-workspace\>/downloads

- **Network endpoints:** https://octavus.ai, https://octavus.ai/api/cli/version, https://octavus.ai/api/v1/workforce/cli/sessions

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 90.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Unknown

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** The explicit run command starts a cloud-controlled agent with filesystem, shell, browser, and computer-use access in the selected workspace., The runtime sends the user prompt and bearer API key to the configured platform, then connects to an operator relay that can dispatch sessions and screen-stream requests., The package can persist an API key and browser profile under the user's Octavus directory., The package has no npm lifecycle scripts, so this behavior is not automatically triggered on installation.

- **Evidence against:** The manifest exposes only a user-invoked CLI binary and declares no install hooks., The command requires an API key and a prompt before it starts a session., Workspace access is rooted at the user-selected working directory, with a refusal for the home directory or filesystem root unless the user supplies --force., The observed network use is directed to the configured Octavus platform rather than an unrelated host.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @octavus/agent@1.0.6.

- Review the evidence and your use of @octavus/agent@1.0.6 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.
