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. This is an explicit-user-command Amp integration with broad agent-control and activity-handling capability. Source inspection found no automatic lifecycle trigger or concrete malicious chain, so it should warn rather than block. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 87.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-30T02:29:34.450Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-30T02:30:30.910Z - **Download time:** 521 ms - **Static scan time:** 127 ms - **AI review time:** 55811 ms - **Total time:** 56460 ms 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:** An explicit install command changes Amp's global permission configuration and writes a project plugin loader. The resulting plugin can inspect and decide Amp tool calls; no automatic install-time execution was found. - **Trigger:** The user runs ory-amp install, ory-amp setup, or the setup binary. - **Impact:** The package gains control over the configured Amp agent's tool-call authorization and receives tool inputs and outputs through its client integration. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/cli/main.js, dist/cli/setup.js, dist/plugin.js, dist/permission.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-30T02:30:30.910Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Explicit CLI installation of an Amp permission delegate and in-process plugin. - **Rationale:** This is an explicit-user-command Amp integration with broad agent-control and activity-handling capability. Source inspection found no automatic lifecycle trigger or concrete malicious chain, so it should warn rather than block. - **Files touched:** ~/.config/amp/settings.json, \/.amp/plugins/ory.ts, \/.agents/skills ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 87.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The explicit install command registers a delegate for every Amp tool in the user-global settings file., Setup writes an executable Amp plugin loader into the selected project's .amp/plugins directory., The installed plugin intercepts tool calls and results and passes tool input and output to its Ory client dependency., The delegate can reject tool calls based on the Ory client decision. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall lifecycle hook., The control-surface writes occur only after an explicit CLI install or setup command., The manifest has no dependency on @ory/amp itself., No direct credential harvesting, shell execution, destructive project-wide operation, or hard-coded exfiltration endpoint appears in this package source. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @ory/amp@1.0.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @ory/amp@1.0.0 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. ## Public findings ### 1. Low: Scripts Present - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 100.0% Package declares npm scripts. ### 2. Medium: Environment Vars - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 75.0% Package source references environment variables. ### 3. Low: Filesystem - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 70.0% Package source references filesystem APIs. ### 4. High: Trigger Reachable External Ai Agent Control Surface Mutation - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Path:** dist/cli/setup.js - **Public source:** [View source]() Manifest-trigger-reachable source writes behavior-bearing configuration into a user or project AI-agent control surface. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript Manifest-trigger-reachable source links an external AI-agent control path to a behavior-bearing write operation. nst to = typeof rec.to === "string" ? rec.to : ""; return to === "ory-amp-permission" || /ory-hook-amp\.(js|cjs|mjs)$/.test(to); } function mergepermissions(existing, to) { const merged = { ...existing }; const perms = (array.isarray(merged["amp.permissions"]) ? merged["amp.permissions"] : []).filter((e) => !isorydelegate(e)); perms.push(delegateentry(to)); merged["amp.permissions"] = perms; return merged; } function removepermissions(existing) { const merged = { ...existing }; ``` ### 5. Low: High Entropy Strings - **Category:** Supply Chain - **Confidence:** 55.0% Package source contains high-entropy string patterns. ### 6. Low: Url Strings - **Category:** Supply Chain - **Confidence:** 65.0% Package source contains URL literals. ### 7. High: Previous Version Dangerous Delta - **Category:** Supply Chain - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Path:** dist/cli/main.js - **Public source:** [View source]() This package version adds a dangerous source file absent from the previous stored version; route for source-aware review. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript matchType = previous_version_dangerous_delta matchedPackage = @ory/amp@0.13.9 matchedIdentity = npm:QG9yeS9hbXA:0.13.9 similarity = 0.429 summary = stored previous version shares package body but lacks this dangerous source file ``` ### 8. Medium: Ai Review Evidence - **Category:** Ai Review - **Confidence:** 87.0% - **Path:** dist/cli/setup.js - **Public source:** [View source]() The explicit install command registers a delegate for every Amp tool in the user-global settings file. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript function getSettingsPath(_args) { // Verified: Amp's default settings file is the user-global // ~/.config/amp/settings.json (the `--settings-file` default). Amp's own // permission entries are global by default; `-w/--workspace` would scope // them to the project. We follow the verified default. return path.join(os.homedir(), ".config", "amp", "settings.json"); ``` ### 9. Medium: Ai Review Evidence - **Category:** Ai Review - **Confidence:** 87.0% - **Path:** dist/cli/setup.js - **Public source:** [View source]() Setup writes an executable Amp plugin loader into the selected project's .amp/plugins directory. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript // (a) Register the permission delegate (blocking gate). const merged = mergePermissions(existing, runtime.hookShim); (0, argus_1.writeJsonFile)(settingsPath, merged); // (b) Write the in-process plugin loader (auth + activity auditing). fs.mkdirSync(path.dirname(pluginFile), { recursive: true }); fs.writeFileSync(pluginFile, pluginLoaderSource(runtime)); // (c) Materialize the Ory skill catalog.

Medium: Suspicious Dependency Evidence - **Category:** Dependency - **Confidence:** 87.0% - **Path:** dist/plugin.js - **Public source:** [View source]() The installed plugin intercepts tool calls and results and passes tool input and output to its Ory client dependency. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript (0, argus_1.complete)(client, { toolName, input: event.input, output: event.output, status: hasError ? "error" : "ok", extraActivityAttributes: { status: event.status, ...(event.error ? { hasError: true } : {}), }, }); ``` ## Dependencies and install lifecycle - **Lifecycle scripts present:** No - **Dependencies:** 2 - **Optional dependencies:** 0 - **Peer dependencies:** 0 - **Development dependencies:** 2 - **Published dependency-graph edges:** 2 ### Published dependency entries - @ory/argus 1.0.0 (Dependency) - reova ^0.7.0 (Dependency) ## Package metadata - **Package:** @ory/amp - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 1.0.0 - **License:** Apache-2.0 - **Version published:** 2026-08-30T02:20:44.162Z - **Package first seen:** 2026-07-15T23:01:01.054Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-10-22T21:31:32.258Z - **Known versions:** 18 - **Latest version:** 1.5.3 - **Appeal under review:** No - **Description:** Ory plugin for Amp (Sourcegraph's coding agent): a permission delegate that authorizes every tool call plus an in-process plugin for session auth and activity auditing - **Maintainers:** arekkas, hperl, jonas-jonas, clintjhill - **Keywords:** ory, amp, ampcode, sourcegraph, coding-agent, permissions, plugin, delegate, identity, identity-management, iam, authentication - **Runtime engines:** node: \>=22 - **Artifact files:** 16 - **Artifact unpacked size:** 64,167 bytes - **Artifact signatures:** 1 - **Attestations:** No ## References - [HTML security report]() - [Homepage]()
