## 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:** 0.3.160
- **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.

No concrete malware or install-hook abuse was found, but the package has an unresolved AI-agent extension lifecycle risk through automatic symlinking and remote skill installation. The privileged file-write path is user-invoked and authenticated, so it warrants a warning rather than a block.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 87.0%

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:** The CLI can alter an AI-agent control surface during normal command use by linking an existing WayAI skill into Claude's skill directory. An authenticated, explicitly invoked admin command can also install platform-supplied skill files into AI harness directories.

- **Trigger:** Run a non-help wayai command in a repository containing .agents/skills/wayai, or explicitly run wayai admin skill install.

- **Impact:** A linked or installed skill may be loaded by an AI harness; remote skill content is not bundled for static verification.

- **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-01T12:23:41.764Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** AI harness skill linking and authenticated remote skill installation.

- **Rationale:** No concrete malware or install-hook abuse was found, but the package has an unresolved AI-agent extension lifecycle risk through automatic symlinking and remote skill installation. The privileged file-write path is user-invoked and authenticated, so it warrants a warning rather than a block.

- **Files touched:** .agents/skills/wayai/SKILL.md, .claude/skills/wayai, .claude/skills/wayai-admin, .opencode/skills/wayai-admin, .agents/skills/wayai-admin

- **Network endpoints:** https://api.wayai.pro

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 87.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for warning:** On ordinary non-help CLI commands, the program creates a Claude skill symlink when a WayAI skill exists under .agents., The explicit admin skill install command fetches server-provided files and writes them into every detected AI harness skill directory., The CLI includes a user-invoked global self-update command that runs npm install.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, postinstall, or other lifecycle hook., The agent-skill file write is behind an explicit admin command and requires authentication., The automatic network refresh only reads version metadata and caches it; it does not execute fetched content., No credential harvesting, secret exfiltration, install-time execution, or runtime self-dependency was found.

## Affected versions and remediation
