## 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:** 0.4.0
- **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 automatic postinstall modifies a consumer AI-agent configuration surface, which warrants a warning under the stated policy. Static inspection found no concrete malicious payload or exfiltration behavior.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Installation automatically adds this package's OpenCode agents, commands, and configuration to the consumer workspace. No confirmed credential theft, network exfiltration, or remote execution was identified.

- **Trigger:** npm postinstall invokes scripts/install.js.

- **Impact:** This is a first-party agent-extension lifecycle mutation of the consumer project; it can alter the local AI-agent control surface without an explicit setup command.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/install.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-22T02:51:18.336Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The installer uses INIT\_CWD or another target directory and copies package-owned files into .opencode and related project paths, while retaining conflicts.

- **Rationale:** The automatic postinstall modifies a consumer AI-agent configuration surface, which warrants a warning under the stated policy. Static inspection found no concrete malicious payload or exfiltration behavior.

- **Files touched:** .opencode/agents, .opencode/commands, .opencode/opencode.json, .opencode/tera-core.manifest.json

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 91.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for warning:** The manifest automatically runs scripts/install.js after installation., The installer resolves the consumer workspace and copies package agent and command files into its .opencode directory., The installer preserves conflicting configuration files and records ownership, reducing overwrite risk.

- **Evidence against:** No credential collection, network send operation, dynamic code execution, or self-dependency was found in the inspected manifest and installer., The spreadsheet is a standard XLSX archive with XML workbook parts; no macro payload was present in its archive listing.

## Affected versions and remediation
