## 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:** 0.3.172
- **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 package does not mutate agent config during npm install, but running the CLI can link or install first-party skills into Claude, OpenCode, and .agents directories. That guarded agent-extension behavior is a warning, not a publish block, because it is user-invoked, same-vendor, and not a hidden lifecycle payload.

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 change local agent skill directories, but only after the user runs wayai. There is no npm install hook. One path silently links an existing first-party skill into .claude; another writes platform skill files when an admin install command is used.

- **Trigger:** User runs a non-help wayai command, or the authenticated admin skill-install command.

- **Impact:** A local coding agent can load the WayAI skill after a normal CLI command. This is first-party setup, not an install-time hijack of unrelated agent config.

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

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-27T19:06:26.993Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** healClaudeSkillLink creates .claude/skills/wayai as a symlink to .agents/skills/wayai. Admin install writes the returned file map under .claude, .opencode, or .agents skills.

- **Rationale:** The package does not mutate agent config during npm install, but running the CLI can link or install first-party skills into Claude, OpenCode, and .agents directories. That guarded agent-extension behavior is a warning, not a publish block, because it is user-invoked, same-vendor, and not a hidden lifecycle payload.

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

- **Network endpoints:** https://api.wayai.pro, https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wayai-pro/wayai-skill/main/skills/wayai/SKILL.md

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 74.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** Any non-help wayai command can create .claude/skills and symlink wayai to the existing .agents/skills/wayai skill., The authenticated admin skill-install command writes the API file map into .claude, .opencode, and .agents skill directories., package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook; the bin runs only when the user invokes wayai.

- **Evidence against:** Skill writes are behind an explicit admin command and authenticated API call, and unsafe relative paths are rejected., The Claude symlink is skipped for help and version, does nothing if the skill file is already present, and prints what it linked., Version refresh fetches skill text only to cache a version string and does not write agent files.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @wayai/cli@0.3.172.

- Review the evidence and your use of @wayai/cli@0.3.172 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report.
