## 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:** 0.11.8
- **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 inspected package implements an explicitly user-invoked remote-control service for local coding agents, which is a dangerous dual-use capability. It lacks install-time execution and no concrete malicious chain was confirmed, so a warning is appropriate rather than a block.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 89.0%
- **Started:** 2026-08-27T08:36:47.534Z

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:** When explicitly run, the package links the computer to a remote Hub and operates local coding-agent sessions. This is a high-impact remote agent-control capability, but it is not installed or activated automatically.

- **Trigger:** A user runs alink or alink-cli and completes pairing or login.

- **Impact:** A party able to use the paired remote account could direct local coding-agent work and commands in the selected workspace.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, README.md, bin/agentlink.js, dist/daemon.js, dist/bin.mjs

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-27T08:38:36.768Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** Authenticated Hub-connected daemon with local agent and pseudo-terminal access.

- **Rationale:** The inspected package implements an explicitly user-invoked remote-control service for local coding agents, which is a dangerous dual-use capability. It lacks install-time execution and no concrete malicious chain was confirmed, so a warning is appropriate rather than a block.

- **Files touched:** bin/agentlink.js, dist/bin.mjs, dist/daemon.js, ~/.agentlink/credential, ~/.agentlink/session, ~/.claude/settings.json, ~/.claude.json, ~/.codex/config.toml

- **Network endpoints:** wss://link.harmopath.com

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 89.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** The package advertises remote control of local coding agents., The CLI starts a daemon with a Hub URL and machine credential., The bundled daemon reads Claude and Codex configuration to detect local agents., The bundled runtime can launch a pseudo-terminal in a supplied working directory.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., Remote pairing is initiated only when the user runs the CLI., Credentials are stored locally with owner-only file permissions., No remote payload decoding or dynamic code execution was confirmed in the inspected source.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to alink-cli@0.11.8.

- Review the evidence and your use of alink-cli@0.11.8 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.
