Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 13 finding(s) warrant review before installing. - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Product-default install policy:** Warn - **Firewall policy:** Matched warn-list - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Staged Payload Carrier - **Selected version:** 2.5.13 - **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 package has a concrete automatic remote-payload and dependency-install path, but the inspected code does not show secret theft, self-dependency chaining, obfuscation, or foreign AI-agent control-surface mutation. This is an unresolved supply-chain execution risk requiring a warning. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-16T10:43:47.586Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-16T10:44:56.777Z - **Download time:** 767 ms - **Static scan time:** 59 ms - **AI review time:** 68364 ms - **Total time:** 69191 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:** Installation retrieves an unverified, remotely selected executable release and installs additional Python packages. The downloaded executable runs when the user invokes tfcode. - **Trigger:** npm installation runs postinstall; later, the user runs tfcode. - **Impact:** A compromised release host or Python package dependency can supply code to the installing user's environment. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, postinstall.mjs, bin/tfcode.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-16T10:44:56.777Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Remote binary staging and automatic unpinned pip installation. - **Rationale:** The package has a concrete automatic remote-payload and dependency-install path, but the inspected code does not show secret theft, self-dependency chaining, obfuscation, or foreign AI-agent control-surface mutation. This is an unresolved supply-chain execution risk requiring a warning. - **Files touched:** postinstall.mjs, bin/tfcode, bin/app, bin/computer - **Network endpoints:** gitea.toothfairyai.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** Its postinstall hook fetches the remotely chosen latest release, not the published package version., The hook downloads and installs an archive without an integrity check, then makes its binary executable., Installation also invokes pip to install unpinned Python packages into the user's environment with a system-package bypass., The CLI launcher executes the installed platform binary with the caller's environment. - **Evidence against:** No runtime dependency on this package itself is declared., The inspected Python sources use API credentials only for the advertised workspace client; no credential harvesting was found., The JavaScript lifecycle code contains no obfuscation or AI-agent configuration writes. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @toothfairyai/tfcode@2.5.13. - Review the evidence and your use of @toothfairyai/tfcode@2.5.13 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
