## Verdict summary
**Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 12 finding(s) warrant review before installing.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Matched warn-list
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Credential Exfiltration
- **Selected version:** 0.2.369
- **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 embedded runtime collects local agent credentials and can forward them through a configurable API origin that accepts any URL. Because the feature is disclosed but the destination is not bound to an intended service, this is a conditional credential-exposure risk that warrants a warning.

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:** When local login forwarding is enabled, the CLI reads credentials from local coding-agent stores and sends credential-derived records to its configured API origin. That origin is accepted as any URL, creating conditional access-token exposure if it is redirected.

- **Trigger:** Starting the worker with local login forwarding enabled, which is the default unless changed or an API key is used.

- **Impact:** Access tokens could be disclosed to an unintended endpoint if the API origin is redirected. The code describes the feature, so the evidence supports a warning rather than a block.

- **Evidence paths:** bin/ara, .lpm-inspection-0ZOaWR/0-2679f1cf7f25.txt

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-17T19:34:29.648Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The worker collects local credentials and passes derived records to a local subscription request sent through the configured API origin; the source does not bind that origin to an intended service.

- **Rationale:** The embedded runtime collects local agent credentials and can forward them through a configurable API origin that accepts any URL. Because the feature is disclosed but the destination is not bound to an intended service, this is a conditional credential-exposure risk that warrants a warning.

- **Files touched:** bin/ara, auth.json, .credentials.json

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 86.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** The embedded CLI reads credentials from local agent stores, including keychain and authentication files., Local login forwarding defaults to enabled unless changed or an API key is used; the worker invokes the handover helper when enabled., The helper submits credential-derived records through a local subscription request to the configured API origin, which accepts any URL., A separate sandbox helper enumerates Claude command and agent directories; it does not establish a restriction on the native CLI’s credential destination.

- **Evidence against:** Embedded CLI help discloses that local login forwarding sends current access tokens and provides an on/off control., The offline native analysis contains bounded source windows and does not establish reachability or the behavior of all native code.
