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 installs a first-party Amp plugin and wildcard permission delegate through explicit CLI commands, creating a concrete agent control-surface capability. This warrants a warning, but the inspected source does not establish an unconsented lifecycle attack or other malicious behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-11T04:27:37.092Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-11T04:27:56.402Z - **Download time:** 1031 ms - **Static scan time:** 93 ms - **AI review time:** 18185 ms - **Total time:** 19310 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 or install command configures Amp to route all tool permissions through the Ory delegate and writes a project plugin loader. This is first-party agent setup, but it changes a broad agent control surface. - **Trigger:** A user runs the package setup or install CLI command. - **Impact:** Amp tool calls may be governed by the Ory delegate, and Amp loads the installed plugin for session authentication and activity auditing; no confirmed attack was established. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/cli/setup.js, dist/cli/main.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-11T04:27:56.402Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The CLI updates Amp settings with a wildcard permission delegate and writes a loader under the project’s Amp plugin directory. - **Rationale:** The package installs a first-party Amp plugin and wildcard permission delegate through explicit CLI commands, creating a concrete agent control-surface capability. This warrants a warning, but the inspected source does not establish an unconsented lifecycle attack or other malicious 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 package exposes setup commands through CLI binaries; the setup path is user-invoked., Setup writes an Amp permission delegate that covers every tool and creates a project plugin loader., The main CLI dispatches the install command explicitly; the inspected package manifest has no install lifecycle hook. - **Evidence against:** The setup code is a first-party Amp plugin installer, consistent with the package’s stated permission and auditing purpose., The inspected source shows no automatic install-time configuration mutation or network send. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @ory/amp@1.4.7. - Review the evidence and your use of @ory/amp@1.4.7 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.
