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:** 0.9.9 - **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. LPM treats this as warn-only first-party agent extension lifecycle risk. An explicitly started local coding-agent web UI can manage Pi credentials/configuration and run reviewed agent extensions. Extension factories are dynamically evaluated after digest checks, creating a guarded agent-extension lifecycle capability rather than an install-time attack. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-05T11:58:04.614Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-05T11:59:11.371Z - **Download time:** 1015 ms - **Static scan time:** 2728 ms - **AI review time:** 63013 ms - **Total time:** 66757 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:** An explicitly started local coding-agent web UI can manage Pi credentials/configuration and run reviewed agent extensions. Extension factories are dynamically evaluated after digest checks, creating a guarded agent-extension lifecycle capability rather than an install-time attack. - **Trigger:** User runs spi or enables approved automation/extensions in the web UI. - **Impact:** Approved extensions or configured tools may act with user-granted agent authority. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/pi-web.js, lib/automation-extension-runtime.ts, lib/automation-extension-discovery.ts, lib/automation-network-policy.ts, extensions/chrome-tab-debug/manifest.json - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-05T11:59:11.371Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Local agent orchestration with digest-gated extension evaluation and configuration management. - **Rationale:** No concrete malicious chain, unconsented lifecycle mutation, or covert exfiltration was found. Its guarded extension and agent-automation capabilities warrant a warning as dangerous dual-use functionality. - **Files touched:** bin/pi-web.js, lib/automation-extension-runtime.ts, lib/automation-extension-discovery.ts, lib/file-credential-store.ts, lib/mcp-config.ts - **Network endpoints:** https://chatgpt.com/backend-api/wham/usage, https://api.deepseek.com/user/balance, https://auth.x.ai/oauth2/token, https://html.duckduckgo.com/html/ ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** lib/automation-extension-runtime.ts evaluates digest-verified extension bundles with vm.runInThisContext., lib/automation-extension-discovery.ts spawns a worker to inspect approved extension factories., lib/file-credential-store.ts reads and writes Pi auth credentials., lib/mcp-config.ts can modify user/project MCP configuration files. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no install, preinstall, or postinstall hook; prepublishOnly is publisher-only., bin/pi-web.js only launches the packaged Next server and local browser URL on explicit spi use., Chrome extension host permissions are limited to localhost/127.0.0.1., Networked credential use targets declared provider/usage endpoints; no covert exfiltration endpoint found., automation-network-policy.ts blocks localhost, metadata hosts, and private/link-local IPs for automation web fetches., favicon.ico.body is a valid PNG asset, not an executable payload. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @twofive/snail-pi-web@0.9.9. - Review the evidence and your use of @twofive/snail-pi-web@0.9.9 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.
