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:** 0.1.411 - **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 guarded postinstall control-surface mutation creates lifecycle risk, but source inspection does not establish malicious behavior or a covert payload chain. Per policy, this is a warn-level same-vendor launcher migration. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-07-27T20:37:43.151Z - **Finished:** 2026-07-27T20:38:17.549Z - **Download time:** 1275 ms - **Static scan time:** 2326 ms - **AI review time:** 30796 ms - **Total time:** 34398 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 guarded postinstall migrates existing AI Kit MCP launcher entries in detected user IDE configurations. Browser runtime download occurs only when the package's browser engine is launched. - **Trigger:** npm install inside the package's managed AI Kit staging layout; browser launch for runtime download. - **Impact:** Can update existing AI Kit IDE MCP configuration entries; no unconsented broad control-surface mutation was confirmed. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/postinstall-managed-launcher.mjs, bin/aikit.mjs, packages/cli/dist/index.js, packages/browser/dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-27T20:38:17.549Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** guarded same-vendor MCP launcher migration and user-invoked runtime bootstrap - **Rationale:** The guarded postinstall control-surface mutation creates lifecycle risk, but source inspection does not establish malicious behavior or a covert payload chain. Per policy, this is a warn-level same-vendor launcher migration. - **Files touched:** package.json, bin/postinstall-managed-launcher.mjs, packages/cli/dist/index.js, packages/browser/dist/index.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** package.json runs bin/postinstall-managed-launcher.mjs at postinstall., bin/postinstall-managed-launcher.mjs conditionally imports the CLI and invokes migrate-launcher., packages/cli/dist/index.js migrates version-pinned user IDE MCP entries., packages/browser/dist/index.js can run npx -y agent-browser@latest on explicit browser launch. - **Evidence against:** Postinstall is a no-op outside ~/.aikit/versions/v\*-staging/package., Migration requires ~/.aikit/current-version.json and an existing matching version-pinned AI Kit entry., Migrator targets AI Kit launcher replacement, not arbitrary config entries., No credential harvesting, covert exfiltration, or destructive payload was found in inspected paths. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @vpxa/aikit@0.1.411. - Review the evidence and your use of @vpxa/aikit@0.1.411 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.
