## 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:** 0.75.258
- **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 a forced first-party agent setup during framework upgrades, creating a residual risk of unprompted project agent-instruction changes. Other flagged code was consistent with package features, and no install-time attack behavior was established.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 83.0%
- **Started:** 2026-10-22T02:15:09.426Z

- **Download time:** 780 ms
- **Static scan time:** 605 ms
- **AI review time:** 104701 ms
- **Total time:** 106087 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:** A framework upgrade automatically refreshes first-party AI setup, including Codex setup, with a forced command. This leaves a residual risk of changing project agent instructions without a separate assistant-configuration prompt.

- **Trigger:** A user invokes the framework upgrade flow.

- **Impact:** Project agent instructions may be refreshed or overwritten as part of the upgrade.

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

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-22T02:16:55.513Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The upgrade detects Codex by default and runs the project Buddy setup command with --force; the package describes canonical AGENTS.md instructions as present after an update.

- **Rationale:** Source inspection found a forced first-party agent setup during framework upgrades, creating a residual risk of unprompted project agent-instruction changes. Other flagged code was consistent with package features, and no install-time attack behavior was established.

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

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 83.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** The package manifest has a prepublish-only build hook and no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., The framework upgrade flow calls the package upgrade routine with the parsed upgrade options., The upgrade routine detects Codex by default and runs the project Buddy AI setup command with --force; the package declaration says canonical agent instructions are kept after updates., The generated action types are built from the project’s route registry and written to the framework’s generated routes file., The inspected discovery, lockfile, and release-note helpers inventory project packages, check lockfile consistency, and format commit notes., The inspected fetcher sends requests to the URL passed to its generic request method; no unrelated credential recipient was established.

- **Evidence against:** The agent setup runs during an explicit framework upgrade flow, not an npm install hook., The other flagged code performs project inventory, lockfile checks, route type generation, and release-note formatting., The inspected runtime dependencies expose action, API, and authentication library functions; their manifests show build and typecheck scripts, not install hooks.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @stacksjs/actions@0.75.258.

- Review the evidence and your use of @stacksjs/actions@0.75.258 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report.

- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@stacksjs/actions@0.75.258/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%
