## 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:** 0.12.5
- **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.

This is not concrete install-time malware: no npm lifecycle hook runs and the risky functionality is user-invoked. It remains a dangerous remote agent-control and session-access capability with optional persistence, so it should be warned rather than blocked.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0%
- **Started:** 2026-09-07T09:13:42.848Z
- **Finished:** 2026-09-07T09:15:11.026Z
- **Download time:** 509 ms
- **Static scan time:** 7092 ms
- **AI review time:** 80576 ms
- **Total time:** 88178 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 explicitly started, this package exposes locally installed coding agents and their session history through its AgentLink hub. Its UI can persist that package-owned daemon on macOS.

- **Trigger:** The user runs the CLI and starts the service or selects Start in its interactive UI.

- **Impact:** A holder of the paired hub credential could direct coding-agent work and view available session history on the enrolled machine.

- **Evidence paths:** bin/agentlink.js, dist/daemon.js, dist/ui.js, dist/NodeServices-Brptf0fr.mjs

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-07T09:15:11.026Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Remote hub requests launch coding agents and retrieve local session history.

- **Rationale:** This is not concrete install-time malware: no npm lifecycle hook runs and the risky functionality is user-invoked. It remains a dangerous remote agent-control and session-access capability with optional persistence, so it should be warned rather than blocked.

- **Files touched:** bin/agentlink.js, dist/daemon.js, dist/ui.js, ~/.agentlink, ~/.codex/sessions, ~/.claude/projects, ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.harmopath.agentlink.daemon.plist

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

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 88.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for warning:** The CLI starts a local daemon that connects to a remote hub and supplies it with a machine credential., The daemon accepts remote run requests and launches installed coding-agent adapters with the received prompt., The daemon reads Codex and Claude session archives, including prompts, messages, and tool results., The interactive UI can create a persistent macOS LaunchAgent after the user selects Start., The bundled Node service helper includes generic child-process spawning code.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., The remote-control daemon is activated through the user-invoked CLI or UI, not during package installation., The LaunchAgent is restricted to the package's own daemon and is created only through the UI start path., No source evidence shows decoded remote code execution, secret harvesting, or exfiltration to an unrelated endpoint.
