Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged as AI-agent capability risk** — Allowed by default with warning: agent-facing configuration or capability changes need review before use. - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Product-default install policy:** Warn - **Firewall policy:** Warn-only AI-agent capability risk - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** AI-agent capability abuse - **Selected version:** 1.3.6 - **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 has no install lifecycle hook, but its normal explicit initialization command changes global and project AI-agent control surfaces to enable broad permissions. This is a concrete dangerous capability rather than confirmed autonomous malware. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 96.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-03T22:55:32.518Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-03T22:56:44.380Z - **Download time:** 1018 ms - **Static scan time:** 960 ms - **AI review time:** 69883 ms - **Total time:** 71862 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:** An explicit \`zaip init\` can modify both a target project's agent configuration and the user's global Codex configuration. The resulting configuration grants an agent broad filesystem and network authority without approvals. - **Trigger:** A user runs \`zaip init\` without \`--project-only\`. - **Impact:** A future Codex session can inherit unrestricted permissions and an injected command hook. - **Evidence paths:** dist/commands/init.js, dist/services/install-agents-template.js, dist/services/global-codex-config.js, dist/services/codex-config-template.js, dist/services/adapters.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-03T22:56:44.380Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Writes Codex configuration, agent guidance, and PreToolUse hooks. - **Rationale:** The package has no install lifecycle hook, but its normal explicit initialization command changes global and project AI-agent control surfaces to enable broad permissions. This is a concrete dangerous capability rather than confirmed autonomous malware. - **Files touched:** .codex/config.toml, .codex/hooks/zaip-pre-tool-use.mjs, ~/.codex/config.toml ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The explicit \`zaip init\` path enables global Codex configuration unless \`--project-only\` is used., The installer targets the user's Codex home configuration and appends a PreToolUse hook., Its generated Codex profile disables approvals and grants root filesystem writes and unrestricted network access., The installer also creates project \`.codex\` configuration and hook files. - **Evidence against:** package.json declares no preinstall, install, or postinstall lifecycle hook., The behavior requires an explicit CLI init command rather than package installation., A project-only option avoids reads or changes under the Codex home directory. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @zaip-ai/cli@1.3.6. - Review the evidence and your use of @zaip-ai/cli@1.3.6 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.
