## 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:** 1.21.0
- **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 shows a conditional, first-party agent skill setup as part of automatic updating, which warrants a warning. The inspected network check retrieves a package version, and no concrete malicious behavior was established.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 84.0%

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:** A successful automatic CLI update also launches agent skill setup. This leaves a first-party agent extension setup risk; the inspected source does not establish which agent files the setup command changes.

- **Trigger:** A CLI command runs when an update qualifies for automatic installation, and that update succeeds.

- **Impact:** The setup command may change agent skill files without a separate setup invocation.

- **Evidence paths:** dist/index.mjs

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-18T23:47:12.458Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The runtime invokes bl skill init with inherited standard input and output after updating.

- **Rationale:** The source shows a conditional, first-party agent skill setup as part of automatic updating, which warrants a warning. The inspected network check retrieves a package version, and no concrete malicious behavior was established.

- **Network endpoints:** https://registry.npmjs.org

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 84.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** package.json exports dist/index.mjs and defines build, development, test, and check scripts; it has no install lifecycle hook., After a CLI command runs, the runtime checks for updates and may automatically update when its version threshold is met., After a successful update, the runtime runs bl skill init and reports that the agent skill was updated., The update check requests the package version from registry.npmjs.org.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to bailian-cli-runtime@1.21.0.

- Review the evidence and your use of bailian-cli-runtime@1.21.0 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.
