## 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:** 0.93.5
- **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.

No concrete malicious chain, lifecycle execution, fixed credential sink, or unconsented install-time AI-agent control-surface mutation was found. The explicit agent/MCP and credential-transfer capabilities remain security-sensitive.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 92.0%
- **Started:** 2026-08-18T00:54:40.739Z

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 runtime commands can install operator-selected plugins, register MCP servers, and bundle selected credentials to a configured remote session. No install-time or hard-coded external exfiltration path was confirmed.

- **Trigger:** User runs h2a plugin, remote-session, credential, or delegate commands.

- **Impact:** A user can intentionally extend AI-agent control surfaces and transmit selected credentials to their configured remote service.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/plugin.js, dist/auth-tools.js, dist/delegate.js, dist/config.js, dist/attach.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-18T00:55:45.273Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** User-invoked MCP registration, remote credential bundling, and agent process launching.

- **Rationale:** No concrete malicious chain, lifecycle execution, fixed credential sink, or unconsented install-time AI-agent control-surface mutation was found. The explicit agent/MCP and credential-transfer capabilities remain security-sensitive.

- **Files touched:** ~/.claude.json, ~/.gemini/config/mcp\_config.json, ~/.aws/credentials, ~/.config/gh/hosts.yml, ~/.npmrc, ~/.docker/config.json

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 92.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Unknown

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for warning:** Explicit \`plugin add\` installs a user-supplied package and registers its MCP entrypoints with AI CLIs., Claude MCP registration can modify user-scoped Claude configuration., The runtime can read and bundle selected local cloud/CLI credential files for remote sessions., It supports explicit delegated Claude/Codex/AGY execution.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, postinstall, or bin lifecycle hook., MCP/config mutation is reached through explicit plugin commands, not import-time execution., Credential bundling is documented and implemented as opt-in; no fixed external exfiltration host was found., Network requests use a caller/configured remote base URL, not a hard-coded gateway.

## Affected versions and remediation

## Public findings

### 1. Medium: Network
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 75.0%

Package source references network APIs.

### 2. Medium: Environment Vars
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 75.0%

### 4. High: Credential Redirect Persistence
- **Category:** Source

- **Path:** dist/index.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@sentropic/h2a-runtime@0.93.5/dist/index.js>)

Manifest-reachable source sends a prompted API credential to a fixed unofficial gateway and persists the redirection.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
Manifest-reachable source captures an API credential, sends it to a fixed unofficial gateway, and persists that redirection in agent or shell configuration.
dist/index.js:
import { existsSync, mkdirSync, readdirSync, readFileSync, realpathSync, statSync, writeFileSync, } from "node:fs";
import { createInterface } from "node:readline";
baseUrl: opts.remote,
async function refreshProfileSession(baseUrl, sessionId, opts) {
const remoteProfile = (await getRemoteSession(baseUrl, sessionId)).session
const response = await refreshRemoteSession(baseUrl, sessionId, credentials, fetch, opts.name);
async function pushAllProfiles(baseUrl, sessionId, opts) {
process.stderr.write(`[h2a] sending creds for ${sent.join(", ")} to ${baseUrl}/sessions/${sessionId}: ${Object.keys(merged).join(", ")}\n`);
```

### 5. High: Copied Package Dependency Bridge
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 83.0%
- **Path:** dist/pty.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@sentropic/h2a-runtime@0.93.5/dist/pty.js>)

Package metadata claims a different repository identity while copied source loads a runtime dependency bridge.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
package = @sentropic/h2a-runtime; repositoryIdentity = h2a; dependency = node-pty
L76: try {
L77: require("node-pty");
L78: }
```

Runtime or CLI source writes behavior-bearing configuration into a user or project AI-agent control surface.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
Runtime or CLI code links a write operation to an explicit external AI-agent control path:
nd, args: [...args] };
    root.mcpservers = servers;
    return json.stringify(root, null, 2) + "\n";
}
                                                                      
export function mergeclaudemcpservers(json, name, command, args) {
    return mergemcpserversjson(json, name, command, args, "claude.json");
}
   
                                                 
                                                                               
                                                                              
   
export function mergeagymcpservers(json, name, command, args) {
    return mergemcpserversjson(json, name, command, args, "mcp_config.json");
}
```

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
matchType = previous_version_dangerous_delta
matchedPackage = @sentropic/h2a-runtime@0.93.4
matchedIdentity = npm:QHNlbnRyb3BpYy9oMmEtcnVudGltZQ:0.93.4

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
// realpathSync: NEVER register the bare bin — the npm-global symlink breaks
        // some packages' entrypoint guard (track@0.2.0). See the module header.
        const scriptPath = realpathSync(join(pkgDir, rel));
        const scriptRel = rel.replace(/^\.\//, "");
        registerClaudeLocal(name, scriptPath, stderr);
        registerCodexLocal(name, scriptPath, stderr);
