Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## 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:** 2026.1006.1 - **Selected version is latest:** Yes - **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% - **Started:** 2026-10-06T12:25:25.672Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-06T12:27:01.383Z - **Download time:** 4396 ms - **Static scan time:** 10641 ms - **AI review time:** 80672 ms - **Total time:** 95711 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:** Explicit assistant setup changes project agent instructions and MCP configuration. This is a concrete agent-control capability, but no confirmed malicious attack was established. - **Trigger:** The user runs vg install for selected assistants; the configured assistant later launches the MCP server. - **Impact:** Agent behavior and executable server selection change after user-command setup; the fallback can resolve a later release without another setup confirmation. - **Evidence paths:** dist/cli.js, dist/chunk-LIAPHEGY.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-06T12:27:01.383Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Setup writes skills, instruction blocks, and a vg server entry. Its fallback launcher obtains an unpinned package through npx on subsequent launches. - **Rationale:** Inspected source supports explicit-user-command agent configuration mutation, which warrants a warning under the supplied policy. The npm postinstall behavior does not establish a block-eligible agent hijack or other concrete attack. - **Files touched:** .mcp.json, CLAUDE.md, .claude/skills/vg/SKILL.md ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The explicit CLI install command invokes assistant configuration setup for selected assistants., Claude setup targets .mcp.json, CLAUDE.md, and .claude/skills/vg/SKILL.md., Assistant setup writes the vg MCP entry and adds instruction content unless hooks are disabled., When no installed CLI is found, the saved server launcher uses npx to obtain @vibgrate/cli without a release pin., The npm postinstall hook clears a package-owned embedding health cache marker. - **Evidence against:** The inspected npm install hook does not mutate foreign agent configuration., Configuration setup is activated by an explicit CLI command; inspected source does not establish covert credential theft or malicious intent. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @vibgrate/cli@2026.1006.1. - Review the evidence and your use of @vibgrate/cli@2026.1006.1 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.
