## 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:** 1.49.0
- **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 postinstall automatically configures CraftKit's own agent extensions, including hooks in global agent settings, which warrants a warning under the first-party extension lifecycle policy. Inspected source did not establish a concrete malicious behavior or unrelated control-surface mutation.

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 automatic install setup writes CraftKit-owned agent extensions into user-level agent configuration. This is a guarded first-party extension setup risk; no confirmed malicious attack surface was identified.

- **Trigger:** npm installation that runs the package postinstall hook.

- **Impact:** The package changes global agent configuration and enables its own hooks and extensions without a separate setup command.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.sh, sync.sh, adapters/claude.sh

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-09T10:06:48.366Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The hook runs sync.sh, which installs CraftKit extensions through its adapters; the Claude adapter registers CraftKit hooks in the user's settings file.

- **Rationale:** The postinstall automatically configures CraftKit's own agent extensions, including hooks in global agent settings, which warrants a warning under the first-party extension lifecycle policy. Inspected source did not establish a concrete malicious behavior or unrelated control-surface mutation.

- **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall.sh, sync.sh, adapters/claude.sh

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 91.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** The npm postinstall automatically invokes scripts/postinstall.sh, which sets AGENTIC\_SETUP and runs sync.sh., The setup pass installs CraftKit hooks and other package-owned agent extensions across Claude, Cursor, Gemini, and Codex adapters., The Claude adapter adds CraftKit hook entries to the user's global settings file and writes the modified settings back.

- **Evidence against:** The observed setup is for CraftKit's own named extensions and managed files; no unrelated control surface mutation or malicious payload was identified., The reviewed hook sources showed local input processing and filesystem reads without an observed network exfiltration path.
