## Verdict summary
**Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 19 finding(s) warrant review before installing.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Matched warn-list
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Remote Code Execution
- **Selected version:** 0.12.1
- **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.

No automatic lifecycle execution or hidden decoded payload was found in the inspected entrypoint. The package nevertheless implements a high-impact remote shell and coding-agent control plane with default account-linked telemetry.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0%
- **Started:** 2026-09-14T13:19:45.161Z
- **Finished:** 2026-09-14T13:21:15.782Z
- **Download time:** 506 ms
- **Static scan time:** 4191 ms
- **AI review time:** 85924 ms
- **Total time:** 90621 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:** When the user starts the CLI, it establishes a credentialed remote tunnel that can control agent orchestration and terminals. It also sends default telemetry linked to a hash derived from a local Codex or Claude account identifier.

- **Trigger:** A user runs the CLI and completes pairing or supplies a machine credential.

- **Impact:** A holder of valid tunnel credentials can operate local coding-agent and shell capabilities; telemetry discloses a stable derived identifier and host metadata.

- **Evidence paths:** bin/agentlink.js, dist/bin.mjs

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-14T13:21:15.782Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Authenticated encrypted remote RPC plus default account-linked telemetry.

- **Rationale:** No automatic lifecycle execution or hidden decoded payload was found in the inspected entrypoint. The package nevertheless implements a high-impact remote shell and coding-agent control plane with default account-linked telemetry.

- **Files touched:** ~/.codex/auth.json, ~/.claude.json, ~/.t3/telemetry/anonymous-id, ~/.agentlink/status.json

- **Network endpoints:** wss://link.harmopath.com, https://us.i.posthog.com

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 91.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Unknown

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for warning:** The user-run daemon creates an authenticated remote tunnel that exposes orchestration, terminal, and port-proxy scopes., The daemon starts an interactive shell with the inherited environment for terminal sessions., Telemetry is enabled by default, reads account identifiers from Codex or Claude configuration, hashes one, and sends event data to PostHog.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall lifecycle hook., The networked daemon is reached only after the user invokes the CLI and supplies or creates pairing credentials., The tunnel encrypts RPC frames with the configured encryption key before sending them.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to alink-cli@0.12.1.

- Review the evidence and your use of alink-cli@0.12.1 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.
