Treat them as untrusted evidence. 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:** 17.0.0 - **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. Source inspection found an explicit first-party agent-extension installer with filesystem mutation and repository retrieval, but no npm lifecycle hook, secret harvesting, or unconsented automatic execution. The networked examples are separately invoked API examples using user-supplied tokens. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 84.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-08T17:32:55.196Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-08T17:35:10.194Z - **Download time:** 2033 ms - **Static scan time:** 7947 ms - **AI review time:** 125015 ms - **Total time:** 134998 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 explicitly run installer retrieves a release and installs skill content into agent skill directories. No automatic install-time execution is present. - **Trigger:** A user runs the package bin command without dry-run. - **Impact:** Installed skill instructions can affect later AI-agent behavior in the selected target. - **Evidence paths:** tools/bin/install.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-08T17:35:10.194Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Clone and copy selected skill directories into agent configuration locations. - **Rationale:** Source inspection found an explicit first-party agent-extension installer with filesystem mutation and repository retrieval, but no npm lifecycle hook, secret harvesting, or unconsented automatic execution. The networked examples are separately invoked API examples using user-supplied tokens. - **Files touched:** tools/bin/install.js, ~/.agents/skills, ~/.codex/skills, ~/.claude/skills, ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.gemini/skills - **Network endpoints:** github.com, registry.npmjs.org ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 84.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** The user-invoked installer can copy skills into AI-agent skill directories, including the default Antigravity directory., The installer clones the publisher repository and then writes the selected content to the target directory., This is a first-party agent-extension installer, not an automatic npm lifecycle action. - **Evidence against:** package.json contains no preinstall, install, postinstall, or prepare hook., The Apify and Hugging Face examples require explicit execution and use their respective user-provided tokens., The flagged shell file is an isolated non-destructive test, and the PDF is a ReportLab document. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to agentic-awesome-skills@17.0.0. - Review the evidence and your use of agentic-awesome-skills@17.0.0 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.
