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:** 1.5.25-enterprise.3 - **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. This is an explicit, environment-gated agent hook setup capability rather than confirmed autonomous malware. Its broad control-surface writes warrant a warning. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 86.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-11T18:34:08.771Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-11T18:35:23.822Z - **Download time:** 764 ms - **Static scan time:** 1500 ms - **AI review time:** 72786 ms - **Total time:** 75051 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 CLI use can write command hooks into installed AI-agent configuration files. The command content comes from SKILLS\_HOOK\_\* environment variables, so later agent events can run it. - **Trigger:** Run skills setup, or run skills add while SKILLS\_HOOK\_START\_CMD is set. - **Impact:** A supplied command can persist in agent hooks and execute on configured prompt or stop events. - **Evidence paths:** dist/cli.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-11T18:35:23.822Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Environment-controlled AI-agent hook configuration writes. - **Rationale:** This is an explicit, environment-gated agent hook setup capability rather than confirmed autonomous malware. Its broad control-surface writes warrant a warning. - **Files touched:** ~/.claude/settings.json, ~/.codex/hooks.json, ~/.cursor/hooks.json, ~/.copilot/hooks/skills.json ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** The CLI can place environment-provided commands into AI-agent hook configuration files., The add command attempts to wire prompt hooks after installing skills, creating future command execution when hook variables are set., It targets several agent skill and hook locations, including Claude, Codex, Cursor, and Copilot. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall script., Hook writes require an explicit CLI command and nonempty SKILLS\_HOOK\_\* environment values., No source evidence shows credential harvesting, secret exfiltration, or remote payload execution by the package itself. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @playlist-tech/enterprise-skills@1.5.25-enterprise.3. - Review the evidence and your use of @playlist-tech/enterprise-skills@1.5.25-enterprise.3 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.
