## 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:** 0.21.191
- **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 review did not substantiate the scanner’s malicious verdict: there is no npm install hook, and the flagged update and verification behavior belongs to runtime operations. The enabled sidecar’s runtime source installation remains a guarded extension lifecycle risk, so a warning is appropriate.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 81.0%

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:** No concrete attack was identified. An enabled Lacuna sidecar can fetch and install source during daemon startup, leaving a guarded extension installation risk.

- **Trigger:** Daemon startup with Lacuna enabled and its sidecar virtual environment absent.

- **Impact:** The installed sidecar code executes as a local process; inspected source does not establish unauthorized data access or another attack.

- **Evidence paths:** dist/shell/unified-shell.js, dist/backends/lacuna/lifecycle.js, dist/backends/lacuna/supervisor.js, dist/backends/lacuna/launch-adapter.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-20T03:18:56.184Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The supervisor runs an install plan that can clone the configured source and install it into the sidecar virtual environment.

- **Rationale:** Source review did not substantiate the scanner’s malicious verdict: there is no npm install hook, and the flagged update and verification behavior belongs to runtime operations. The enabled sidecar’s runtime source installation remains a guarded extension lifecycle risk, so a warning is appropriate.

- **Files touched:** dist/shell/unified-shell.js, dist/backends/lacuna/lifecycle.js, dist/backends/lacuna/supervisor.js, dist/backends/lacuna/launch-adapter.js

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 81.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** The package has no npm install lifecycle hook; its listed publish hook runs build and build-info stamping., The sidecar starts only when enabled in daemon configuration, and startup failure leaves agents routing directly., When the sidecar source is missing, runtime setup can clone the configured source and install it into a Python virtual environment., The Lacuna installation flow and its activation are guarded runtime setup; inspected source does not establish a concrete attack.

- **Evidence against:** Self-update installs the package only in its update flow; the inspected code does not show an automatic install-hook trigger., The flagged spawn operation handles a requested merge-resolution agent and records its success or failure.
