Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## 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:** 2.5.2 - **Selected version is latest:** Yes - **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 agent skill and MCP configuration changes only in the explicit CLI installer; the npm postinstall hook merely prints a message. This is a guarded, user-invoked agent integration capability, so warn rather than block. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-09T18:14:38.588Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-09T18:15:14.976Z - **Download time:** 755 ms - **Static scan time:** 1632 ms - **AI review time:** 33999 ms - **Total time:** 36388 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:** The explicit installer can place package skills in AI-tool directories and add an MCP server to supported host configuration. - **Trigger:** A user runs the package CLI install command, or invokes the CLI without a command. - **Impact:** The selected AI host can load the package's skills and MCP server after configuration; source inspection did not establish an npm-install-triggered change or other active attack. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-09T18:15:14.976Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The installer copies bundled skill files and writes an analyzthis\_design MCP server entry into supported host configuration. - **Rationale:** Source inspection found agent skill and MCP configuration changes only in the explicit CLI installer; the npm postinstall hook merely prints a message. This is a guarded, user-invoked agent integration capability, so warn rather than block. - **Files touched:** .claude/commands, .cursor/commands, ~/.cursor/mcp.json, ~/.claude.json, ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp\_config.json ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The install command copies package skills into project and user AI-tool directories, and the install path configures an MCP server for supported hosts., CLI install is activated by an explicit install command or by running the CLI without a command; package postinstall only prints guidance., The MCP setup adds an analyzthis\_design server entry that runs npx analyzthis\_design mcp., The cited knowledge and source-discovery locations describe project skill destinations and documentation scanning; they do not establish an independent control-surface attack. - **Evidence against:** The package postinstall hook only prints a message; it does not invoke the installer., MCP configuration mutation is reached through the user-invoked CLI installer, not the npm lifecycle hook. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to analyzthis\_design@2.5.2. - Review the evidence and your use of analyzthis\_design@2.5.2 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.
