## 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:** 0.22.85
- **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 install-time hook, self-dependency chain, secret harvesting, or concealed payload was found. The explicit agent hook registration and automatic global updater remain dangerous capabilities that warrant a warning.

## Latest scan

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 register command hooks in the user's Claude configuration when companion Telora binaries are installed. A running daemon can also update its global package installation from its configured registry.

- **Trigger:** Run telora-daemon connect with a token, or run the daemon while automatic updates are enabled.

- **Impact:** Later Claude events can execute Telora companion commands; an update can replace the globally installed daemon with a newer registry release.

- **Evidence paths:** dist/cli/connect.js, dist/cli/connect/registration.js, dist/update/self-update.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-13T00:39:29.794Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Token redemption, AI-agent hook registration, and global self-update.

- **Rationale:** No install-time hook, self-dependency chain, secret harvesting, or concealed payload was found. The explicit agent hook registration and automatic global updater remain dangerous capabilities that warrant a warning.

- **Files touched:** ~/.claude/settings.json, ~/.telora/daemon.json, .mcp.json

- **Network endpoints:** api.syntelyos.com, registry.npmjs.org

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 87.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for warning:** The user-invoked connect command redeems a supplied token with the Telora API., Connect conditionally adds command hooks to the user's Claude settings when companion binaries are present., The running daemon can automatically install the latest global release of itself.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no install, preinstall, or postinstall lifecycle hook., The manifest has no runtime dependency on @telora/daemon., The hook mutation is reachable through the explicit connect command, not package installation.

## Affected versions and remediation
