## Verdict summary
**Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 14 finding(s) warrant review before installing.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Telemetry warning (can be blocked)
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Telemetry
- **Selected version:** 3.20.0
- **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 CLI performs an automatic, periodic update check against the npm registry and identifies itself in the request. Because this runtime network activity is not clearly disclosed, classify it as suspicious telemetry; the inspected request contains no project or credential data.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0%
- **Started:** 2026-11-01T16:44:31.887Z

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:** Automatic runtime update check; no attack beyond undisclosed telemetry was identified.

- **Trigger:** CLI startup, when the update cache is stale or absent and the suppression environment variable is unset.

- **Impact:** The registry receives the request and can observe its network metadata, including the CLI update-check user agent; no project or credential data was found in the request.

- **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js, dist/utils/agent-freshness.js, dist/utils/agent-update-worker.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-11-01T16:45:41.302Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** A detached worker requests the latest package version from the npm registry with a package-identifying user agent.

- **Rationale:** The CLI performs an automatic, periodic update check against the npm registry and identifies itself in the request. Because this runtime network activity is not clearly disclosed, classify it as suspicious telemetry; the inspected request contains no project or credential data.

- **Files touched:** ~/.solidactions/agent-update-check.json, ~/.solidactions/agent-update-check.json.claim

- **Network endpoints:** https://registry.npmjs.org/@solidactions%2Fcli/latest

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 90.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Unknown

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** The CLI entry point starts agent freshness checks whenever it runs as the process entry point., When the update cache needs refreshing, the package starts a detached update-check worker., The worker requests the latest @solidactions/cli version from registry.npmjs.org and sends the user agent '@solidactions/cli update check'., The update check is suppressed by SOLIDACTIONS\_NO\_AGENT\_NUDGES=1.

- **Evidence against:** The request supports a normal CLI update check and targets the npm registry., The inspected request sends no project contents, credentials, or environment values., Other process execution is tied to explicit developer commands such as running a skill command.

## Affected versions and remediation
