## 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:** 0.23.25
- **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 source shows automatic, continuing mutation of configured Claude agent settings to install a package-owned hook, which warrants a warning under the agent extension policy. The inspected hook invokes a local command, and the package manifest has no npm install lifecycle hook; the cited runtime-operation excerpts do not establish a separate attack.

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:** On daemon startup, the package updates Claude settings in configured repositories and adds a package-owned SessionStart hook. This agent integration has a continuing effect, but the inspected code does not establish a separate attack.

- **Trigger:** Starting the daemon with configured products that have repository paths.

- **Impact:** Future Claude sessions in those repositories run the package command and receive its session context.

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

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-20T03:43:10.890Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The startup path merges a hook into each repository’s Claude settings; the hook runs the local telora-daemon session-state command.

- **Rationale:** The source shows automatic, continuing mutation of configured Claude agent settings to install a package-owned hook, which warrants a warning under the agent extension policy. The inspected hook invokes a local command, and the package manifest has no npm install lifecycle hook; the cited runtime-operation excerpts do not establish a separate attack.

- **Files touched:** .claude/settings.json, dist/shell/unified-shell.js, dist/shell/unified-shell-provisioning.js, dist/cli/connect/claude.js, dist/templates/claude-settings.js

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 86.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** The manifest lists prepublishOnly as a build command; the inspected scripts show no install hook., Daemon startup refreshes Claude settings for configured products, and the refresher processes products with repository paths., The settings writer targets each repository’s .claude/settings.json and merges the package’s Claude settings when needed., The merged settings install a SessionStart hook that invokes the local telora-daemon session-state command., The flagged runtime excerpts show worktree installation, install-script analysis, configuration reload, and token parsing; they establish no separate attack behavior., The connector modules provide harness-specific agent and MCP configuration as part of the package’s setup flow.

- **Evidence against:** The SessionStart command runs a local package command; the inspected hook does not establish credential transfer or remote payload execution.
