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:** 1.33.1 - **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 source supports a guarded, first-party agent-extension lifecycle risk rather than a confirmed malicious payload or credential-exfiltration path. The automatic detached server start adds concern but does not by itself prove malicious intent. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 84.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-27T16:02:32.932Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-27T16:04:14.990Z - **Download time:** 1256 ms - **Static scan time:** 8095 ms - **AI review time:** 92705 ms - **Total time:** 102058 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:** No confirmed malicious attack was identified. The package can install Codeman-managed Claude hooks into a workspace during later session creation, and its install hook starts a detached local server. - **Trigger:** Installing the package triggers the server start; creating a Codeman-managed Claude session triggers workspace-hook setup. - **Impact:** This is a guarded agent-extension lifecycle capability that can alter a selected workspace's Claude configuration and process future agent events. No confirmed external data theft or foreign broad control-surface mutation was established. - **Evidence paths:** dist/hooks-config.js, scripts/postinstall.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-27T16:04:14.990Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The session path writes a Claude settings hook block that sends hook-event data to the configured Codeman API. The install script launches the package web entrypoint as a detached child process. - **Rationale:** The source supports a guarded, first-party agent-extension lifecycle risk rather than a confirmed malicious payload or credential-exfiltration path. The automatic detached server start adds concern but does not by itself prove malicious intent. - **Files touched:** .claude/settings.local.json, .git/hooks/pre-commit ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 84.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** The package runs a post-install script automatically., The install script starts a detached Codeman web-server process., When a Codeman session is created, workspace hooks are enabled by default and can write Claude settings., The generated Claude hooks forward tool-event input to the Codeman API endpoint configured for that session., The hook writer has safeguards for its target and the skill installer refuses symlinked or foreign skill directories. - **Evidence against:** No self-dependency was declared., No static external exfiltration endpoint was identified in the inspected behavior., The install-time server is described and configured for loopback use. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to aicodeman@1.33.1. - Review the evidence and your use of aicodeman@1.33.1 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.
