## 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:** 0.3.2
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

LPM treats this as warn-only first-party agent extension lifecycle risk. Explicit connect/setup installs a server-downloaded tracker, persists it, and invokes it periodically. The packaged source also modifies Claude Code telemetry configuration.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Explicit connect/setup installs a server-downloaded tracker, persists it, and invokes it periodically. The packaged source also modifies Claude Code telemetry configuration.

- **Trigger:** User runs burnboard connect, setup, update, or sync.

- **Impact:** A server-controlled agent can repeatedly access local AI-tool data after explicit setup.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, cli.mjs, install/burnboard-setup.sh, install/burnboard-setup.ps1

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-23T11:14:48.081Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** remote agent download with scheduled execution

- **Rationale:** The package has meaningful remote-agent persistence and agent-config mutation, but these occur only after explicit CLI commands and not through npm lifecycle hooks. This meets the guarded first-party extension lifecycle risk threshold, not the block threshold.

- **Files touched:** ~/.burnboard/config.json, ~/.burnboard/agent.mjs, ~/.claude/settings.json, crontab, ~/.config/systemd/user/burnboard-sync.service, ~/.config/systemd/user/burnboard-sync.timer, ~/.config/autostart/burnboard.desktop

- **Network endpoints:** https://burnboard-public.vercel.app

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 93.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** Explicit setup downloads a remote agent into ~/.burnboard., Installer persists agent execution every five minutes and auto-updates daily., Installer removes Claude telemetry environment settings., CLI executes the downloaded agent via Node.

- **Evidence against:** No npm preinstall/install/postinstall hook; package exposes only user-invoked bins., Network enrollment and host name collection occur only under explicit connect/setup commands., No packaged credential-harvesting or exfiltration code was found; remote agent content is not shipped.
