## Verdict summary
**Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 15 finding(s) warrant review before installing.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Matched warn-list
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Remote Code Execution
- **Selected version:** 0.23.56
- **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 confirms automatic npm ci during worktree provisioning, which can execute project dependency scripts with the daemon user's privileges. This is a runtime execution risk; the package manifest only defines a prepublishOnly hook, and the flagged script-analysis and hot-reload locations do not establish a separate attack.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 78.0%
- **Started:** 2026-10-20T03:48:06.984Z

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:** Automatic worktree provisioning runs npm ci for selected project packages, allowing their dependency install scripts to execute under the daemon user.

- **Trigger:** A spawned worktree becomes ready and a package is stale or absent.

- **Impact:** A malicious dependency install script could execute code with the daemon user's privileges.

- **Evidence paths:** dist/spawn/worktree-session.js, dist/composition/execution-worktree-context.js, dist/worktree/worktree-package-provisioning.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-20T03:50:22.941Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The daemon invokes npm ci in the package directory without disabling dependency lifecycle scripts.

- **Rationale:** The source confirms automatic npm ci during worktree provisioning, which can execute project dependency scripts with the daemon user's privileges. This is a runtime execution risk; the package manifest only defines a prepublishOnly hook, and the flagged script-analysis and hot-reload locations do not establish a separate attack.

- **Files touched:** dist/spawn/worktree-session.js, dist/composition/execution-worktree-context.js, dist/worktree/worktree-package-provisioning.js

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 78.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** High

- **Evidence for warning:** When a spawned worktree is ready, the daemon starts package provisioning; its provisioning dependency uses the npm ci installer., The installer runs npm ci in each selected package directory, which can execute that project’s dependency lifecycle scripts., Provisioning skips worktrees under verification and filters out packages already current; the flagged install-inputs and install-script-effects code analyzes scripts rather than triggering them., The manifest has a prepublishOnly build hook and no npm install lifecycle hook.

- **Evidence against:** The provisioning is tied to project worktrees and skips worktrees held by verification; the inspected sources show no publisher-directed endpoint or payload in this behavior.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @telora/daemon@0.23.56.

- Review the evidence and your use of @telora/daemon@0.23.56 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report.
