## 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:** 0.5.0
- **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.

LPM treats this as warn-only first-party agent extension lifecycle risk. Installation downloads and enables a remote native executable, then installs a Claude skill globally. The native payload is unavailable for source inspection, so its behavior remains unresolved.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1

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:** Installation downloads and enables a remote native executable, then installs a Claude skill globally. The native payload is unavailable for source inspection, so its behavior remains unresolved.

- **Trigger:** npm automatically runs postinstall during package installation; invoking scu then runs the downloaded executable.

- **Impact:** A repository-controlled release asset gains code execution when the command is used, and installation changes the user's Claude skill set.

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

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-14T09:44:02.356Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Postinstall remote native-binary bootstrap and global Claude skill installation.

- **Rationale:** This is a real lifecycle and agent-extension risk, but the inspected source shows a package-specific, opt-out skill setup and no concrete malicious behavior. The remote native payload prevents a clean verdict.

- **Files touched:** bin/scu, bin/scu.exe, skill/scu-cli/SKILL.md, ~/.claude/skills/scu-cli/SKILL.md

- **Network endpoints:** https://github.com/The-Brotherhood-of-SCU/SCU-CLI/releases/download/v${VERSION}

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 90.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Unknown

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** An automatic postinstall script downloads a platform-native executable, writes it into bin, and makes it executable., The install hook copies a bundled skill into the user's global Claude skills directory unless an environment variable disables it., The command shim launches the downloaded native executable, whose contents are not available in this package snapshot.

- **Evidence against:** The download URL is version-pinned to the package's stated GitHub repository., The Claude skill is a named, package-specific file copied from the package and has an opt-out., The inspected JavaScript contains no credential harvesting, secret exfiltration, destructive action, or hidden persistence beyond the named skill installation.
