## 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:** 0.22.79
- **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 manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and the reviewed agent configuration is part of the explicit first-party connect/setup flow. Runtime subprocess and update behavior inspected here is tied to daemon operation or configured setup, with no source evidence of a concrete attack.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1

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. The package has a guarded first-party integration that adds Telora-specific agent instructions and MCP registrations during connect setup.

- **Trigger:** The operator runs the connect flow with a valid Telora token, or uses the harness setup command.

- **Impact:** The agent can access the package’s intended Telora tool surface. The inspected behavior does not establish credential theft, unconsented third-party control-surface mutation, or malicious execution.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-20T03:19:01.449Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The selected harness receives Telora instructions or a Telora MCP server registration; connect may install and start the daemon globally.

- **Rationale:** The manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and the reviewed agent configuration is part of the explicit first-party connect/setup flow. Runtime subprocess and update behavior inspected here is tied to daemon operation or configured setup, with no source evidence of a concrete attack.

- **Files touched:** 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

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 78.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook; prepublishOnly runs build and stamping commands., The explicit connect flow redeems a caller-provided token and then writes harness-specific agent instructions and MCP registrations., Connect can install and start the first-party daemon globally; harness configuration exposes its MCP server to the selected agent or IDE., Lacuna installation runs only when the sidecar is started and its virtualenv Python is absent; it installs from configured source into daemon-owned paths., The flagged runtime operations are ordinary install-step error reporting and merge-resolution logging.

- **Evidence against:** The harness setup changes agent configuration and registers a package-owned MCP server; those integrations can later invoke the daemon’s tools with the agent’s authority., The package has runtime update and subprocess capabilities, but inspected code ties them to daemon operation, explicit update paths, or configured sidecar setup; no concrete malicious behavior was established.
