## 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:** 0.94.1
- **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 package contains explicit-user-command AI-agent configuration mutation and arbitrary installer support, warranting a warning. Static inspection found no concrete malicious chain, stealth trigger, or credential exfiltration.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0%

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 commands can install user-selected plugins and register them as AI-agent MCP servers locally and in remote Pods. No install-time trigger or unconsented mutation was found.

- **Trigger:** User runs \`h2a plugin add\` and optionally \`h2a plugin sync\`.

- **Impact:** Configured plugin code may run through registered agent MCP servers.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/index.js, dist/plugin.js, dist/llm-mesh.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-21T10:25:40.558Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** User-directed plugin installation and MCP configuration registration.

- **Rationale:** The package contains explicit-user-command AI-agent configuration mutation and arbitrary installer support, warranting a warning. Static inspection found no concrete malicious chain, stealth trigger, or credential exfiltration.

- **Files touched:** ~/.claude.json, ~/.codex/config.toml, ~/.gemini/config/mcp\_config.json

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 90.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for warning:** Explicit \`plugin add\` can install arbitrary packages or user-supplied curl/shell installers., It registers selected plugin executables as MCP servers for Claude, Codex, and agy., Plugin sync writes MCP configuration into remote session Pods.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no lifecycle scripts., CLI parsing is guarded by an entrypoint check; import alone does not run commands., No fixed external exfiltration endpoint or secret-harvesting chain was found.

## 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%

Package source references environment variables.

### 3. Low: Filesystem
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 70.0%

Package source references filesystem APIs.

### 4. High: Copied Package Dependency Bridge
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 83.0%
- **Path:** dist/pty.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@sentropic/h2a-runtime@0.94.1/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: }
```

### 5. High: External Ai Agent Control Surface Mutation
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 94.0%
- **Path:** dist/plugin.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@sentropic/h2a-runtime@0.94.1/dist/plugin.js>)

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");
}
```

### 6. Low: High Entropy Strings
- **Category:** Supply Chain
- **Confidence:** 55.0%

Package source contains high-entropy string patterns.

### 7. Low: Url Strings
- **Category:** Supply Chain
- **Confidence:** 65.0%

Package source contains URL literals.

### 8. Medium: Structural Risk Force Deep Review
- **Category:** Artifact Inventory
- **Confidence:** 80.0%

Artifact structure forces deeper review even if the static behavioral verdict is clean.

### 9. High: Previous Version Dangerous Delta
- **Category:** Supply Chain
- **Confidence:** 93.0%
- **Path:** dist/llm-mesh.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@sentropic/h2a-runtime@0.94.1/dist/llm-mesh.js>)

This package version adds a dangerous source file absent from the previous stored version; route for source-aware review.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
matchType = previous_version_dangerous_delta
matchedPackage = @sentropic/h2a-runtime@0.94.0
matchedIdentity = npm:QHNlbnRyb3BpYy9oMmEtcnVudGltZQ:0.94.0
similarity = 0.976
summary = stored previous version shares package body but lacks this dangerous source file
```

### 10. Medium: Ai Review Evidence
- **Category:** Ai Review
- **Confidence:** 90.0%
- **Path:** dist/index.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@sentropic/h2a-runtime@0.94.1/dist/index.js>)

Explicit \`plugin add\` can install arbitrary packages or user-supplied curl/shell installers.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
.command("add <pkgOrName>")
        .description("Register a plugin propagated to sessions. npm (default): `npm i -g <pkg>` + register its MCP server(s) with claude + codex + agy. " +
        '--curl <url> / --install "<shell>": a NON-npm tool, installed in each Pod on sync by piping an https script or running a shell command (e.g. a Go binary\'s install.sh). ' +
        "Without --mcp, every npm bin ending in -mcp is registered (track-mcp -> track), as `node <realpath>`.")
        .option("--mcp <name=bin>", "MCP server to register, as <name>=<bin> (repeatable; overrides the -mcp heuristic)",
```
