## Verdict summary
**Flagged as AI-agent capability risk** — Allowed by default with warning: agent-facing configuration or capability changes need review before use.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Warn-only AI-agent capability risk
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** AI-agent capability abuse
- **Selected version:** 0.22.72
- **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.

No malicious npm lifecycle chain or secret-exfiltration behavior was found. The package nevertheless has explicit persistent agent-extension and sidecar-execution capabilities that warrant a warning.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 87.0%
- **Started:** 2026-09-11T23:36:58.315Z

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:** Running the explicit connect command can persist a Telora MCP registration in the operator's Codex configuration and merge Claude tracking hooks. A configured Lacuna sidecar source can also be acquired and executed at daemon runtime.

- **Trigger:** The user runs telora-daemon connect, or starts the daemon with a Lacuna source configured.

- **Impact:** The package can extend local AI-agent tool and hook surfaces and execute a configured sidecar.

- **Evidence paths:** dist/cli/connect.js, dist/cli/connect/codex.js, dist/backends/lacuna/launch-adapter.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-11T23:38:03.898Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** User-invoked agent configuration mutation and configured sidecar installation.

- **Rationale:** No malicious npm lifecycle chain or secret-exfiltration behavior was found. The package nevertheless has explicit persistent agent-extension and sidecar-execution capabilities that warrant a warning.

- **Files touched:** ~/.codex/config.toml, ~/.claude/settings.json, ~/.telora/lacuna/src, ~/.telora/lacuna/venv

- **Network endpoints:** https://api.syntelyos.com, https://api.anthropic.com

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 87.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** The explicit connect command registers a Telora MCP server in the operator's personal Codex configuration., The connect flow can merge Telora tracking hooks into the user's Claude settings when a companion executable is present., The daemon can fetch a configured Git source, install it into a virtual environment, and launch it as a sidecar., The package has no npm install lifecycle hook; its only lifecycle script is prepublishOnly.

- **Evidence against:** The configuration and hook writes occur only after the user invokes the connect command., The observed network request redeems a user-supplied connect token against the Telora service., No source evidence showed credential harvesting, secret exfiltration, hidden install-time execution, or self-dependency.
