Treat them as untrusted evidence. 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:** 0.6.9 - **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 source implements explicit, potentially persistent writes to AI-agent control files, including automatic synchronization once configured. There is no evidence of install-time abuse, secret theft, or a concrete malicious payload. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 86.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-28T01:15:40.433Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-28T01:19:01.452Z - **Download time:** 2029 ms - **Static scan time:** 20697 ms - **AI review time:** 178293 ms - **Total time:** 201019 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 CLI can synchronize user memory, skills, and subagent definitions into AI-agent configuration locations after user configuration. No unconsented install-time mutation or confirmed exfiltration was identified. - **Trigger:** A user invokes the sharing, publishing, installation, or synchronization commands after configuring a hub. - **Impact:** A configured hub or local command can change files that influence agent behavior, creating a guarded extension lifecycle risk. - **Evidence paths:** dist/bin.mjs, dist/client/assets/previewAssetResource-sGNObqz0.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-28T01:19:01.452Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The program creates agent directories and atomically writes validated definition content; its client also exposes an asset overwrite capability for restricted agent directories. - **Rationale:** The source implements explicit, potentially persistent writes to AI-agent control files, including automatic synchronization once configured. There is no evidence of install-time abuse, secret theft, or a concrete malicious payload. - **Files touched:** dist/bin.mjs, dist/client/assets/previewAssetResource-sGNObqz0.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** The package exposes the p4c executable and has no npm lifecycle hook in its manifest., The CLI offers explicit commands to share user memory files and subagent definitions., The sync implementation writes validated agent-definition markdown into an agent root., The bundled client describes overwriting files in user skill, provider configuration, and subagent-definition directories. - **Evidence against:** No install-time lifecycle script was found., The sharing command states that items do not share until named with publish. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @p4code/cli@0.6.9. - Review the evidence and your use of @p4code/cli@0.6.9 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.
