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:** 3.0.0 - **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 is not malicious by static inspection because it has no install lifecycle hook or confirmed covert exfiltration. It warrants a warning because its normal init command modifies global Codex hook configuration and installs agent tooling with privileged cloud operations. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-19T16:07:40.091Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-19T16:08:55.835Z - **Download time:** 1026 ms - **Static scan time:** 699 ms - **AI review time:** 74018 ms - **Total time:** 75744 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:** A user running zaip init can modify the user's global Codex configuration to register a pre-tool hook. The package also ships an explicit cloud administration runner, but its examined paths enforce contract and target checks. - **Trigger:** The user runs the zaip init command without --project-only. - **Impact:** The installed hook can affect subsequent Codex tool use; cloud operations can alter approved DNS or remote hosts when separately invoked with credentials. - **Evidence paths:** dist/commands/init.js, dist/services/global-codex-config.js, templates/.agents/tools/cloud-runner.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-19T16:08:55.835Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Global Codex hook installation and contract-gated cloud administration. - **Rationale:** The package is not malicious by static inspection because it has no install lifecycle hook or confirmed covert exfiltration. It warrants a warning because its normal init command modifies global Codex hook configuration and installs agent tooling with privileged cloud operations. - **Files touched:** .agents/config/agents/catalog.yaml, $CODEX\_HOME/config.toml, .agents/tools/cloud-runner.mjs ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The explicit init command enables global Codex configuration by default unless the user selects --project-only., The installer rewrites the Codex configuration file and installs a ZAIP pre-tool hook., The shipped cloud runner can use supplied cloud credentials for contract-bound DNS and SSH operations. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall lifecycle hook., Global configuration changes occur only through the user-invoked init command, and --project-only disables them., The cloud runner checks the declared contract, target IDs, allowed operations, and SSH host-key fingerprint before acting. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @zaip-ai/cli@3.0.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @zaip-ai/cli@3.0.0 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.
