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 package changes Amp's control surface through a user-invoked setup or install command, a first-party agent extension setup that warrants a warning. The inspected manifest declares no install lifecycle hook, and the reviewed plugin entrypoint shows no concrete attack behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-11T04:27:24.903Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-11T04:27:44.772Z - **Download time:** 2596 ms - **Static scan time:** 93 ms - **AI review time:** 17179 ms - **Total time:** 19869 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 command installs this package's plugin and routes every Amp tool through its permission delegate. This is a broad agent capability change, but the inspected code does not establish an attack. - **Trigger:** A user runs the exposed setup command or invokes the main CLI install flow. - **Impact:** Amp tool calls and the plugin's session behavior are routed through package-owned code; no malicious action was confirmed in inspected entrypoint source. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/cli/setup.js, dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-11T04:27:44.772Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Setup updates Amp settings with a wildcard tool delegate and writes a project plugin loader that re-exports this package's runtime. - **Rationale:** The package changes Amp's control surface through a user-invoked setup or install command, a first-party agent extension setup that warrants a warning. The inspected manifest declares no install lifecycle hook, and the reviewed plugin entrypoint shows no concrete attack behavior. - **Files touched:** ~/.config/amp/settings.json, \/.amp/plugins/ory.ts ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The manifest exposes setup and main CLI commands, with no install lifecycle script., The setup command writes a global Amp permission delegate for all tools and a project plugin loader., The plugin loader imports this package's own runtime entrypoint. - **Evidence against:** The configuration changes occur through an explicit setup command; no install lifecycle hook is declared., The plugin points to this package's own runtime, and inspected entrypoint code shows no network or environment-variable access. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @ory/amp@1.4.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @ory/amp@1.4.0 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.
