## 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:** 0.22.87
- **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 package intentionally provisions and operates autonomous coding agents with broad project authority and a runtime self-update path. These are real lifecycle risks, but the source does not establish concrete malicious behavior in this release.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 86.0%

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:** When the daemon is configured and run, it refreshes Telora agent configuration in selected repositories and an existing global Codex instruction file. It also creates daemon worktree settings that disable approval prompts, then launches autonomous agents with the user's authority.

- **Trigger:** The user runs connect, init, or the daemon against configured products.

- **Impact:** A compromised Telora service or later package release could influence agent behavior and update the globally installed daemon; the code does not show direct credential theft.

- **Evidence paths:** dist/shell/unified-shell.js, dist/shell/unified-shell-provisioning.js, dist/worktree/provision.js, dist/update/auto-update.js, dist/cli/connect.js

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Daemon-managed agent provisioning, runtime self-update, and autonomous worktree execution.

- **Rationale:** The package intentionally provisions and operates autonomous coding agents with broad project authority and a runtime self-update path. These are real lifecycle risks, but the source does not establish concrete malicious behavior in this release.

- **Files touched:** ~/.codex/AGENTS.md, \<configured-repository\>/.mcp.json, \<configured-repository\>/AGENTS.md, \<daemon-worktree\>/.codex/config.toml

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

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 86.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for warning:** The running daemon refreshes an existing global Codex instruction file and configured repositories' AGENTS.md files at boot., It creates a worktree-local Codex configuration that disables approval prompts and permits workspace writes., Its auto-update loop installs the latest package globally during daemon runtime., The connect command sends a user-supplied connection token to the configured Telora endpoint and can start the daemon in the background.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall lifecycle hook., The package does not depend on its own package name., The network connection and setup actions are reached through explicit CLI setup commands; no secret harvesting or unrelated exfiltration was found.
