Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## 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:** 0.55.0 - **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 package has a guarded first-party agent extension setup flow that can enable later automatic hook execution, so a warning is appropriate. The manifest exposes only a prepublishOnly build hook, and the inspected network and token paths do not establish an active attack. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 74.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-11T18:28:03.331Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-11T18:29:01.644Z - **Download time:** 1255 ms - **Static scan time:** 6731 ms - **AI review time:** 50326 ms - **Total time:** 58313 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 setup that can install its own hooks and modify Claude settings. No unconsented install-time attack was established. - **Trigger:** A user runs the package's interactive setup and agrees to install hooks or patch settings. - **Impact:** The installed hooks can run as part of the user's agent workflow; this is a guarded first-party extension setup capability. - **Evidence paths:** dist/program-Cb-9J5Ie.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-11T18:29:01.644Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The setup can add the package's hooks and settings to the user's Claude configuration, enabling later hook execution. - **Rationale:** The package has a guarded first-party agent extension setup flow that can enable later automatic hook execution, so a warning is appropriate. The manifest exposes only a prepublishOnly build hook, and the inspected network and token paths do not establish an active attack. - **Files touched:** ~/.claude/settings.json ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 74.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The package offers an interactive command to install its own session and context hooks, which may run automatically after setup., The package offers to patch Claude settings with its hooks and configuration; the setup flow is user-invoked. - **Evidence against:** The only declared lifecycle script is prepublishOnly, which runs a build rather than installing runtime hooks., The inspected notification hook requires an NTFY\_TOPIC value before sending, and the Todoist setup asks before using an environment token. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @tekmidian/pai@0.55.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @tekmidian/pai@0.55.0 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.
