## 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:** 0.22.131
- **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 confirms that daemon startup can automatically update shared Codex instructions after connection setup, creating a concrete agent configuration risk. The package has no install hook, and the inspected runtime operation hints concern package analysis and agent workflow; they do not establish a separate attack.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 82.0%

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:** Daemon startup can refresh a Telora instruction block in the existing shared Codex instructions file. This changes guidance used by Codex sessions across the workstation, creating a first-party agent configuration capability with residual risk.

- **Trigger:** Starting the daemon when configured products and Telora organization settings exist and the global Codex instructions file is present.

- **Impact:** The change can influence guidance for interactive and daemon-managed Codex sessions on that workstation.

- **Evidence paths:** dist/shell/unified-shell.js, dist/shell/unified-shell-provisioning.js, dist/cli/connect/agents.js, dist/templates/agents-md.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-20T03:23:22.408Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The daemon writes or merges a Telora-managed instruction block into the shared Codex instructions file. The block directs agent work through Telora.

- **Rationale:** Source inspection confirms that daemon startup can automatically update shared Codex instructions after connection setup, creating a concrete agent configuration risk. The package has no install hook, and the inspected runtime operation hints concern package analysis and agent workflow; they do not establish a separate attack.

- **Files touched:** ~/.codex/AGENTS.md

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 82.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** Daemon startup refreshes Codex instructions when Telora products and organization settings are present, and refreshes the global file if it already exists., The global refresh writes a Telora-managed instruction block to the operator’s shared Codex instructions file; the block directs agent workflow through Telora., The package exposes connection setup as a CLI command, but subsequent daemon startups perform the refresh automatically., The manifest has no install hook; its only publish lifecycle script builds and stamps package metadata., The flagged worktree and spawn operations inspect package scripts, install dependencies, or report agent-resolution results; these inspected excerpts do not establish an attack.

- **Evidence against:** The global instructions file must already exist, and the refresh manages a Telora instruction block rather than creating the file unconditionally., The inspected install-related runtime excerpts show package-analysis and installer behavior, not a verified malicious lifecycle action.
