## 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:** 3.12.1
- **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.

This is an automatic first-party agent-extension installation, which is a real lifecycle risk but does not establish concrete malware behavior. The suspicious scanner claims about credential redirection are not supported by the inspected source.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0%
- **Started:** 2026-09-10T03:28:21.781Z
- **Finished:** 2026-09-10T03:29:35.450Z

- **Static scan time:** 2992 ms
- **AI review time:** 70170 ms
- **Total time:** 73669 ms

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:** Installing the package can add a Tigris skill to an already existing Claude Code configuration. The copied skill influences future agent guidance for object-storage tasks.

- **Trigger:** npm postinstall when the package is installed under node\_modules and ~/.claude already exists.

- **Impact:** Claude Code may load vendor-specific storage guidance without an explicit setup command.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, postinstall.cjs, SKILL.md

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-10T03:29:35.450Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Copies a bundled namespaced skill into a global Claude Code skills directory.

- **Rationale:** This is an automatic first-party agent-extension installation, which is a real lifecycle risk but does not establish concrete malware behavior. The suspicious scanner claims about credential redirection are not supported by the inspected source.

- **Files touched:** SKILL.md, ~/.claude/skills/tigris/SKILL.md

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 88.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for warning:** The package runs postinstall automatically., Postinstall copies its bundled skill into an existing global Claude Code directory., The copied skill directs agent use toward this vendor's storage CLI.

- **Evidence against:** The lifecycle hook only creates a namespaced Tigris skill and shows a terminal banner; no credential or file exfiltration was found., Agent MCP and skill configuration changes are performed by the explicit interactive tigris init command., The flagged custom endpoint is a user-supplied configure option, not a fixed credential-redirection host., No self-dependency, opaque payload download, or automatic broad agent-config rewrite was found.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @tigrisdata/cli@3.12.1.

- Review the evidence and your use of @tigrisdata/cli@3.12.1 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report.
