Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged as agent extension risk** — Allowed by default with warning: install-time first-party agent extension setup was detected. - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Product-default install policy:** Warn - **Firewall policy:** Warn-only agent extension risk - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Agent extension lifecycle risk - **Selected version:** 1.5.0 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. 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 provides a first-party Amp extension installer that modifies Amp settings and adds a project plugin when explicitly run. These source-backed configuration changes warrant a warning, but no npm lifecycle trigger or concrete malicious behavior was established. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-11T04:27:40.803Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-11T04:27:59.162Z - **Download time:** 769 ms - **Static scan time:** 93 ms - **AI review time:** 17497 ms - **Total time:** 18359 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 setup command installs this package's Amp integration by changing user and project configuration. This is a guarded, first-party extension setup capability; no confirmed attack was identified. - **Trigger:** A user invokes the \`ory-amp-setup\` bin or the CLI setup command. - **Impact:** Amp can route tool permissions through the Ory delegate and load the package's plugin for authentication and auditing. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-11T04:27:59.162Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The command registers a delegate for all Amp tools in the user's settings and writes a project plugin loader. - **Rationale:** The package provides a first-party Amp extension installer that modifies Amp settings and adds a project plugin when explicitly run. These source-backed configuration changes warrant a warning, but no npm lifecycle trigger or concrete malicious behavior was established. - **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 as a command-line bin and defines no install lifecycle hook., Running setup writes a global Amp permission delegate for all tools and a project plugin loader., The loader and skills are package-owned Amp integration components; the setup command has an uninstall path. - **Evidence against:** The configuration changes are behind an explicit CLI setup command, not an npm install hook., No unrelated dependency approval change or concrete attack behavior was identified in the inspected entrypoints. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @ory/amp@1.5.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @ory/amp@1.5.0 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.
