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 inspected configuration changes are substantial but are activated through an explicit user command and are aligned with the package's Ory plugin purpose. No malicious behavior or automatic install-time mutation was established, so this warrants a warning rather than a block. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 86.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-11T04:26:43.802Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-11T04:27:18.536Z - **Download time:** 1038 ms - **Static scan time:** 84 ms - **AI review time:** 33611 ms - **Total time:** 34734 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:** The explicit setup/install command changes Amp configuration by registering an Ory delegate for all tools and adding a project plugin loader. This is a guarded, user-invoked agent capability change; no confirmed attack was identified. - **Trigger:** A user runs the package's setup binary or invokes the main CLI with the install command. - **Impact:** Amp tool decisions pass through the configured Ory delegate, and Amp loads the Ory plugin for authentication and activity auditing. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/cli/setup.js, dist/cli/main.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-11T04:27:18.536Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The command writes a global Amp permission entry that delegates every tool to the Ory helper and writes a plugin loader under the project configuration directory. - **Rationale:** The inspected configuration changes are substantial but are activated through an explicit user command and are aligned with the package's Ory plugin purpose. No malicious behavior or automatic install-time mutation was established, so this warrants a warning rather than a block. - **Files touched:** ~/.config/amp/settings.json, .amp/plugins/ory.ts ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The package exposes setup and permission tools as user-invoked command-line binaries., The setup command adds a delegate for every Amp tool and writes the plugin loader into the project configuration., The main CLI runs setup only for an explicit install command; package.json has no install lifecycle hook. - **Evidence against:** Setup routes through the package's Ory permission helper and describes its plugin as handling session authentication and activity auditing., The inspected setup path does not show an external network endpoint or credential exfiltration. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @ory/amp@1.2.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @ory/amp@1.2.0 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.
