## Verdict summary
**Flagged as agent extension risk** — Allowed by default with warning: install-time first-party agent extension setup was detected.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Warn-only agent extension risk
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Agent extension lifecycle risk
- **Selected version:** 0.75.236
- **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 upgrade command performs a forced, package-owned agent setup refresh that may change project instructions, warranting a warning. The package has no inspected npm install hook for this behavior, and source does not establish a concrete malicious attack.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 84.0%
- **Started:** 2026-10-19T20:15:08.158Z

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 upgrade path forces an AI setup refresh, including Codex by default. This creates an unresolved risk of changing project agent configuration; the inspected source does not establish the exact write scope or confirm malicious behavior.

- **Trigger:** A user runs the project upgrade command and its update path reaches the AI setup refresh.

- **Impact:** Project agent instructions or configuration may be created or changed without a separate setup prompt.

- **Evidence paths:** dist/upgrade/packages.js, dist/upgrade/package-project.js, dist/upgrade/package-project.d.ts

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-19T20:16:06.022Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The updater detects providers and invokes their setup command with a force option; the package identifies AGENTS.md as canonical after an update.

- **Rationale:** The upgrade command performs a forced, package-owned agent setup refresh that may change project instructions, warranting a warning. The package has no inspected npm install hook for this behavior, and source does not establish a concrete malicious attack.

- **Files touched:** dist/upgrade/packages.js, dist/upgrade/package-project.js, dist/upgrade/package-project.d.ts, AGENTS.md

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 84.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** The package refreshes detected AI provider setup with a forced command during an upgrade., Codex is included by default, and the package describes its canonical AGENTS.md as present after an update.

- **Evidence against:** The manifest has a prepublishOnly build script; this behavior is reached through an upgrade command, not an npm install hook., The inspected source does not establish the setup command’s exact write scope or any credential transfer, exfiltration, or other attack.

- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@stacksjs/actions@0.75.236/dist/pantry-lock.js>)

A bounded semantic-analysis stage reached its safety limit; remaining detectors completed, but this package requires AI review.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
stage = ast_semantic_analysis; reason = ast_trace_path_limit_exceeded; limitedFiles = 1
```

### 14. High: Previous Version Dangerous Delta
- **Category:** Supply Chain
- **Confidence:** 93.0%
- **Path:** dist/release-preflight.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@stacksjs/actions@0.75.236/dist/release-preflight.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 = @stacksjs/actions@0.75.226
matchedIdentity = npm:QHN0YWNrc2pzL2FjdGlvbnM:0.75.226
similarity = 0.917
summary = stored previous version shares package body but lacks this dangerous source file
