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:** 0.21.198 - **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 scanner's execution and shell signals correspond to product functions, and the manifest has no install hook. I classify the first-party agent configuration and automatic settings refresh as a warning-level extension lifecycle capability; the inspected source does not support blocking the package. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 78.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-20T03:39:23.187Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-20T03:40:29.369Z - **Download time:** 1015 ms - **Static scan time:** 4479 ms - **AI review time:** 60687 ms - **Total time:** 66182 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:** No confirmed attack was identified. The package does write agent configuration during setup and refreshes Claude settings at daemon startup, enabling its own session hook and MCP integration. - **Trigger:** The operator runs the connect setup and starts the configured daemon; the settings refresh then runs on daemon startup. - **Impact:** The package's own integration can run at agent session start and its configuration can be refreshed automatically. The inspected behavior does not establish credential theft, broad control hijacking, or malicious execution. - **Evidence paths:** dist/cli/connect.js, dist/cli/connect/agents.js, dist/cli/connect/claude.js, dist/cli/connect/cline.js, dist/cli/connect/codex.js, dist/cli/connect/config-write.js, dist/cli/connect/ide.js, dist/shell/unified-shell-provisioning.js, dist/templates/claude-settings.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-20T03:40:29.369Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Setup writes harness-specific MCP and instruction configuration. Claude settings include a SessionStart command that invokes the package's session-state command. - **Rationale:** The scanner's execution and shell signals correspond to product functions, and the manifest has no install hook. I classify the first-party agent configuration and automatic settings refresh as a warning-level extension lifecycle capability; the inspected source does not support blocking the package. - **Files touched:** repo/.claude/settings.json, repo/.mcp.json, ~/.codex/AGENTS.md, ~/.codex/config.toml, ~/.cline/data/settings/cline\_mcp\_settings.json, .cursor/mcp.json, .vscode/mcp.json ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 78.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The Claude, Codex, Cline, Cursor, and VS Code setup writes agent or MCP configuration, including files that agent clients load., Daemon startup refreshes configured products' Claude settings, and those settings include a SessionStart hook that runs telora-daemon session-state., The manifest's prepublishOnly script builds and stamps metadata; it is not an install lifecycle hook. - **Evidence against:** The connect flow performs the setup and starts the daemon; the inspected configuration writes are part of this explicit product setup., The hook invokes the package's own daemon command, and the inspected runtime-operation hints concern merge resolution and installing a configured sidecar. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @telora/daemon@0.21.198. - Review the evidence and your use of @telora/daemon@0.21.198 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.
