# @papi-ai/server@0.7.75 npm security report

## 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:** 0.7.75
- **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 scanner's command-exfiltration claim is not supported by the inspected source: child-process use is project Git/GitHub workflow functionality. The confirmed concern is explicit setup-time Claude configuration and a project hook, which warrants a warning rather than a block.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0%
- **Started:** 2026-08-10T01:11:02.462Z
- **Finished:** 2026-08-10T01:12:32.003Z
- **Download time:** 761 ms
- **Static scan time:** 4479 ms
- **AI review time:** 84301 ms
- **Total time:** 89541 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:** No install-time attack is present. An explicit setup call can add PAPI-owned Claude Code settings, skills, and a warning-only hook to the current project.

- **Trigger:** User invokes the MCP setup tool; design hook registration additionally requires a detected frontend project.

- **Impact:** Modifies the current project's Claude Code control surface and sends usage metadata during tool calls.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/index.js, design-assets/hooks/frontend-design-guard.sh, README.md

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-10T01:12:32.003Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** Explicit project-local AI-agent extension setup plus opt-out telemetry.

- **Rationale:** The scanner's command-exfiltration claim is not supported by the inspected source: child-process use is project Git/GitHub workflow functionality. The confirmed concern is explicit setup-time Claude configuration and a project hook, which warrants a warning rather than a block.

- **Files touched:** .claude/settings.json, .claude/hooks/frontend-design-guard.sh, .claude/skills, AGENTS.md, .agents/skills/papi-cycle, .papi

- **Network endpoints:** https://guewgygcpcmrcoppihzx.supabase.co/functions/v1/data-proxy, https://guewgygcpcmrcoppihzx.supabase.co/rest/v1/md\_adapter\_pings

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 91.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for warning:** dist/index.js: explicit setup writes .claude/settings.json, dist/index.js: setup installs a PreToolUse shell hook for Edit/Write, design-assets/hooks/frontend-design-guard.sh: hook reads tool input and emits warnings, dist/index.js: runtime telemetry posts tool metadata to PAPI Supabase

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall/install/postinstall hook, setup is an explicitly invoked MCP tool with prepare/apply flow, hook is scoped to active PAPI UI edits and exits without blocking, telemetry is documented and can be disabled with PAPI\_TELEMETRY=off

## Affected versions and remediation
