## 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:** 0.3.161
- **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.

This is not malicious install-hook behavior: the manifest has no lifecycle hook and the observed update install is explicit. The automatic AI-agent skill bridge is a real, bounded lifecycle risk that warrants a warning.

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:** Running most CLI commands can add a Claude Code skill symlink when a matching WayAI skill already exists in the project. It also performs detached update checks.

- **Trigger:** A user runs a non-help wayai command in a repository containing .agents/skills/wayai.

- **Impact:** Changes the project agent-extension surface, but no install-time execution, remote skill installation, or credential exfiltration was confirmed.

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

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-01T12:21:22.573Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** First-party agent-skill symlink creation and background version checks.

- **Rationale:** This is not malicious install-hook behavior: the manifest has no lifecycle hook and the observed update install is explicit. The automatic AI-agent skill bridge is a real, bounded lifecycle risk that warrants a warning.

- **Files touched:** .agents/skills/wayai/SKILL.md, .claude/skills/wayai, ~/.wayai/update-check.json, ~/.wayai/skill-update-check.json

- **Network endpoints:** raw.githubusercontent.com

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 88.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for warning:** Any non-help CLI command can create a project symlink that exposes a WayAI skill to Claude Code., The explicit update command runs npm to install the latest package globally., Normal CLI use starts a detached background update check that runs npm metadata lookup and fetches a remote skill version.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., The automatic project mutation is limited to linking an existing first-party .agents skill into .claude; it does not download or execute skill content., The remote skill fetch only parses a front-matter version and writes a local update cache.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @wayai/cli@0.3.161.

- Review the evidence and your use of @wayai/cli@0.3.161 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.
