Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## 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:** 0.0.14 - **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. LPM treats this as warn-only first-party agent extension lifecycle risk. The npm postinstall hook automatically installs the package’s bundled skill into detected AI tool skill directories. This creates a first-party agent extension lifecycle risk, but the inspected code does not establish a concrete attack. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-07T23:50:19.343Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-07T23:50:45.224Z - **Download time:** 510 ms - **Static scan time:** 518 ms - **AI review time:** 24852 ms - **Total time:** 25881 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 npm postinstall hook automatically installs the package’s bundled skill into detected AI tool skill directories. This creates a first-party agent extension lifecycle risk, but the inspected code does not establish a concrete attack. - **Trigger:** Installing the npm package when its postinstall hook runs. - **Impact:** The bundled skill becomes available to supported AI tools without a separate user command; no malicious effect was established from the inspected behavior. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, dist/commands/skill.js, dist/services/skill-installer.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-07T23:50:45.224Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The hook runs the CLI skill-install command, which selects detected agent skill directories and copies bundled skill files into them, subject to ownership and use checks. - **Rationale:** The postinstall hook automatically installs a first-party skill into detected AI tool directories, which warrants a lifecycle risk warning. The inspected source shows guarded file copying rather than a confirmed attack, so blocking is not justified. - **Files touched:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, dist/commands/skill.js, dist/services/skill-installer.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The npm postinstall hook launches the package’s skill-install command automatically., The installer targets multiple AI tool skill directories and also discovers directories that appear to be in use., The install command copies the bundled skill files into those targets; this is first-party agent skill setup during installation. - **Evidence against:** The installer skips targets that do not appear to be in use and blocks directories marked foreign or of unknown ownership unless the user supplies --force., The inspected behavior copies skill files; it does not establish remote payload execution, credential exfiltration, or destructive activity. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to cbs-cainiao-merchant-cli@0.0.14. - Review the evidence and your use of cbs-cainiao-merchant-cli@0.0.14 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.
