Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## 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:** 0.2.30 - **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 postinstall path is limited to global installs or an explicit machine-setup flag, but it configures this package’s agent integrations for machine-wide use. This is a guarded first-party integration lifecycle risk, so warn rather than block. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-11T21:24:58.778Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-11T21:25:24.682Z - **Download time:** 752 ms - **Static scan time:** 586 ms - **AI review time:** 24565 ms - **Total time:** 25904 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:** A gated postinstall can configure this package’s integrations in the user’s global Claude Code and OpenCode settings. This is a guarded first-party agent integration; no confirmed attack behavior was identified. - **Trigger:** Installing the package globally with npm, or passing the machine-setup flag to its postinstall script. - **Impact:** Agent sessions may load this package’s integrations across directories on the user’s machine; the inspected source does not show credential theft or other concrete attack behavior. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-11T21:25:24.682Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The script loads machine setup, which wires a Claude Code resolver, installs the package’s OpenCode plugin, and records an auto-managed marker. - **Rationale:** The postinstall path is limited to global installs or an explicit machine-setup flag, but it configures this package’s agent integrations for machine-wide use. This is a guarded first-party integration lifecycle risk, so warn rather than block. - **Files touched:** package.json, postinstall.cjs, dist/machine-setup.js, dist/enforce-hooks.js, dist/init.js, dist/resolve-hook.js, dist/opencode-plugin.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The package runs a postinstall script that starts machine setup only for global installs or when explicitly passed the machine-setup flag., Machine setup writes Claude Code resolver wiring and installs the package’s OpenCode plugin, creating persistent user-level agent integrations., The OpenCode setup preserves an unrelated existing plugin file and leaves it untouched. - **Evidence against:** The lifecycle exits for ordinary project dependency installs; its machine-wide setup is gated to global installs or an explicit flag., The inspected setup integrates this package’s own agent tooling and does not establish exfiltration, destructive behavior, or permission bypass. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @twing/cli@0.2.30. - Review the evidence and your use of @twing/cli@0.2.30 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.
