Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged as AI-agent capability risk** — Allowed by default with warning: agent-facing configuration or capability changes need review before use. - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Product-default install policy:** Warn - **Firewall policy:** Warn-only AI-agent capability risk - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** AI-agent capability abuse - **Selected version:** 0.7.126 - **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. Source supports a warning for explicit agent configuration mutation, rather than a malware block. Scanner credential and configuration labels do not establish covert theft or install-time control hijacking. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-04T03:37:42.498Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-04T03:39:26.621Z - **Download time:** 772 ms - **Static scan time:** 4447 ms - **AI review time:** 98904 ms - **Total time:** 104123 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:** Explicit setup capabilities modify agent permissions and executable hooks. These warrant a capability warning; no confirmed malicious attack was established. - **Trigger:** Calling the MCP setup tool or running the status-line module with --install. - **Impact:** Persistent settings allow PAPI tools and cause commands to run during later agent use, including resolving a CLI release through npx. - **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js, dist/statusline.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-04T03:39:26.621Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Setup adds PAPI tool permission wildcards and a project command hook; status-line installation saves an npx command in user Claude settings. - **Rationale:** Source supports a warning for explicit agent configuration mutation, rather than a malware block. Scanner credential and configuration labels do not establish covert theft or install-time control hijacking. - **Files touched:** .claude/settings.json, .claude/hooks/frontend-design-guard.sh ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** package.json has no registry-install lifecycle hooks or runtime self-dependency., The MCP setup tool invokes project scaffolding that changes agent configuration., Setup allows all PAPI tools in Claude settings and registers an Edit/Write command hook., The status-line installer requires --install and configures a command that invokes @papi-ai/cli through npx., The flagged backfill location reads CLAUDE.md paths from Git history rather than changing agent instructions. - **Evidence against:** No concrete malicious install behavior or covert credential theft was established., CLI authentication obtains a PAPI credential through browser-approved device authorization., The design hook checks for an active PAPI build and emits a warning without blocking edits. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @papi-ai/server@0.7.126. - Review the evidence and your use of @papi-ai/server@0.7.126 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.
