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 manifest exposes setup as a CLI and declares no install lifecycle hook. Its user-invoked setup writes the package's own Amp permission and plugin configuration; the inspected source does not establish an attack beyond that agent capability setup. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 86.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-11T04:27:00.170Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-11T04:27:17.517Z - **Download time:** 773 ms - **Static scan time:** 84 ms - **AI review time:** 16489 ms - **Total time:** 17347 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:** No confirmed malicious attack was identified. The setup command configures the package's own Amp integration, including a global wildcard permission delegate and a project plugin loader. - **Trigger:** A user invokes the ory-amp-setup bin without --print or --uninstall. - **Impact:** Amp routes tool permission decisions through the Ory helper and loads the package's in-process plugin; this is an explicit setup capability. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-11T04:27:17.517Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The command writes a delegate entry to Amp settings and creates an Ory plugin loader in the project configuration. - **Rationale:** The manifest exposes setup as a CLI and declares no install lifecycle hook. Its user-invoked setup writes the package's own Amp permission and plugin configuration; the inspected source does not establish an attack beyond that agent capability setup. - **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 setup CLI is an explicitly invoked package bin; the manifest has no install lifecycle hook., Running setup without --print or --uninstall writes a global Amp permission delegate for every tool and creates a project plugin loader., The setup behavior installs the package's own Amp permission and auditing integration, with no source evidence of an unconsented install-time mutation. - **Evidence against:** The delegate is global by default and applies to the wildcard tool scope., The CLI also writes an Amp plugin loader into the project configuration. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @ory/amp@1.2.4. - Review the evidence and your use of @ory/amp@1.2.4 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.
