Treat them as untrusted evidence. 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:** 0.97.11 - **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. Source inspection found agent configuration and plugin registration capabilities, but their callers are explicit CLI commands and no install-time hook is declared. The evidence supports a warning for user-invoked agent capability, not a confirmed attack. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 84.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-09T09:42:29.180Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-09T09:43:03.161Z - **Download time:** 508 ms - **Static scan time:** 4940 ms - **AI review time:** 28532 ms - **Total time:** 33981 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:** The package provides explicit commands that can alter local AI-agent configuration and register plugins for remote sessions. This is a guarded capability; no confirmed attack surface was established. - **Trigger:** A user invokes plugin add or enroll with the hook-install option. - **Impact:** These actions can add package or plugin behavior to agent sessions after user-requested setup. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-09T09:43:03.161Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The plugin command writes MCP configuration, while the enroll command merges Claude session hooks into settings. - **Rationale:** Source inspection found agent configuration and plugin registration capabilities, but their callers are explicit CLI commands and no install-time hook is declared. The evidence supports a warning for user-invoked agent capability, not a confirmed attack. - **Files touched:** dist/plugin.js, dist/enroll.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 84.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The manifest exposes the runtime through dist/index.js and has no npm lifecycle scripts., The plugin command can register an MCP server in the user's Codex configuration and persist plugin data for remote sessions., Claude hook installation is explicitly activated by the enroll --install-hooks CLI option., The gateway startup path uses a localhost endpoint and sends session identifiers and workspace ID to it., The tmux module imports child-process APIs for the package's stated local and remote session management. - **Evidence against:** No inspected source established covert credential collection, unrelated data exfiltration, or unconsented installation-time mutation., The agent configuration changes are reached through explicit CLI setup commands. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @sentropic/h2a-runtime@0.97.11. - Review the evidence and your use of @sentropic/h2a-runtime@0.97.11 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.
