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:** 0.84.2-1.821.2026 - **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. The postinstall hook performs host SDK modification without a consent prompt, creating a concrete guarded agent-extension lifecycle risk. The inspected code applies the bundled patch to the named host SDK, so the evidence does not support a malicious block. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 92.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-10T02:31:36.706Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-10T02:32:53.289Z - **Download time:** 5656 ms - **Static scan time:** 7459 ms - **AI review time:** 63467 ms - **Total time:** 76583 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:** The install hook can modify the host pi-coding-agent installation by applying the package's bundled patch. This is an agent extension lifecycle risk, but the inspected target is the named host SDK and does not establish an attack on a foreign or broad agent control surface. - **Trigger:** Installing the package with lifecycle scripts enabled. - **Impact:** Changes host SDK behavior for this extension; the source inspected does not establish credential theft or a broader control hijack. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-10T02:32:53.289Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The postinstall script locates the host pi-coding-agent, backs it up, and writes patched host files. - **Rationale:** The postinstall hook performs host SDK modification without a consent prompt, creating a concrete guarded agent-extension lifecycle risk. The inspected code applies the bundled patch to the named host SDK, so the evidence does not support a malicious block. - **Files touched:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.mjs, scripts/pi-coding-agent@0.84.2.patch, index.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 92.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The postinstall hook runs a script that locates the host pi-coding-agent installation., The script applies a bundled patch and writes changed files into that host installation without a consent check., The extension scans project agent directories and reads their configuration files. - **Evidence against:** The patch targets the named host SDK used by this extension; inspected behavior does not show a foreign or broad agent-control-surface mutation., The Exa API key is used in a request to the configured Exa service, with no evidence of an unrelated credential recipient. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @xzy-ai/pi-c2@0.84.2-1.821.2026. - Review the evidence and your use of @xzy-ai/pi-c2@0.84.2-1.821.2026 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.
