## 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:** 2.8.5
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

LPM treats this as warn-only first-party agent extension lifecycle risk. Install-time scripts register a Chrome MCP bridge and may fetch a ripgrep executable. The fetched executable lacks an in-package integrity check, leaving a supply-chain exposure.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Install-time scripts register a Chrome MCP bridge and may fetch a ripgrep executable. The fetched executable lacks an in-package integrity check, leaving a supply-chain exposure.

- **Trigger:** npm install

- **Impact:** Chrome integration is configured; a substituted download source could install a trojaned ripgrep binary.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/setup-chrome-mcp.mjs, scripts/postinstall.cjs, dist/chunks/esm-CsGLyWmS.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-08T02:22:01.343Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** postinstall bridge registration and remote binary download

- **Rationale:** Source confirms risky automatic setup and an unverified remote executable fetch. It does not confirm malicious intent or a concrete exfiltration chain.

- **Files touched:** scripts/setup-chrome-mcp.mjs, scripts/postinstall.cjs, dist/vendor/ripgrep/\<arch\>-\<platform\>/rg, ~/Library/Logs/mcp-chrome-bridge or platform equivalent

- **Network endpoints:** https://github.com/microsoft/ripgrep-prebuilt/releases/download/v15.0.1, https://ghproxy.net/https://github.com/microsoft/ripgrep-prebuilt/releases/download/v15.0.1

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 91.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Critical Vulnerability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** package.json runs postinstall automatically., scripts/setup-chrome-mcp.mjs invokes bridge register for Chrome., scripts/postinstall.cjs downloads an executable without checksum verification., RIPGREP\_DOWNLOAD\_BASE can replace the download origin.

- **Evidence against:** No credential harvesting or exfiltration found in inspected lifecycle scripts., The credential hint in dist/chunks/esm-CsGLyWmS.js is bundled Azure identity code., Chrome setup is a named package-owned bridge setup, not a demonstrated foreign-agent config write.
