## Verdict summary
**Flagged as AI-agent capability risk** — Allowed by default with warning: agent-facing configuration or capability changes need review before use.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Warn-only AI-agent capability risk
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** AI-agent capability abuse
- **Selected version:** 0.3.0
- **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.

Review flagged AI-agent configuration or capability changes. This remains warn-only unless evidence shows foreign-agent hijack through preinstall/install/postinstall, hidden persistence, exfiltration, remote code execution, or other concrete malicious behavior.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0%

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:** Explicit adapter installation modifies user-global AI-agent skill and hook configuration to run the package overlay during agent lifecycle events. Overlay launch may download and execute a platform binary from the package release service.

- **Trigger:** User runs \`gamepigeon install\` or its documented adapter-install command; installed hooks later fire on agent events.

- **Impact:** Changes Codex/other harness behavior and executes a fetched overlay binary; update hooks can add package-controlled context.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, src/index.ts, scripts/install-adapters.sh, scripts/manage-harness-hooks.ts, scripts/overlay.ts, scripts/plugin-update.ts

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-06T01:18:20.718Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Explicit AI-agent hook installation plus remote binary bootstrap

- **Rationale:** This is a real, user-invoked agent-control and remote-executable capability, but the inspected source shows no unconsented install-time mutation or concrete theft/destruction chain. The scanner's malicious label overstates the evidence.

- **Files touched:** ~/.codex/hooks.json, ~/.claude/settings.json, ~/.agents/hooks.json, ~/.tui-gamepigeon/auth.json, ~/.gamepigeon/bin/\<version\>/gamepigeon-overlay

- **Network endpoints:** https://releases.runretroarcade.com, https://auth.runretroarcade.com, https://api.runretroarcade.com, https://us.i.posthog.com

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 90.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for warning:** scripts/install-adapters.sh writes agent skills and global hook configs., scripts/manage-harness-hooks.ts injects Codex/Claude/Antigravity lifecycle commands., scripts/overlay.ts downloads and executes a remote overlay binary., scripts/plugin-update.ts injects update messages into agent-hook context.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall/install/postinstall lifecycle hook., Agent config writes require explicit \`gamepigeon install\` invocation., Remote binary download verifies SHA-256 against its release manifest., No source evidence of credential harvesting or unrelated file exfiltration.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @tui-games/tui@0.3.0.

- Review the evidence and your use of @tui-games/tui@0.3.0 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.
