Treat them as untrusted evidence. 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:** 2.76.4 - **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. Review flagged AI-agent configuration or capability changes. This remains warn-only unless evidence shows foreign-agent hijack through preinstall/install/postinstall, hidden persistence, exfiltration, remote code execution, or other concrete malicious behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 87.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-29T03:28:23.452Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-29T03:30:20.409Z - **Download time:** 508 ms - **Static scan time:** 6718 ms - **AI review time:** 109730 ms - **Total time:** 116957 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 CLI modifies persistent Claude agent instructions during a paired-session launch. No install-time attack was identified. - **Trigger:** Launching codeam with an active paired session. - **Impact:** Future Claude sessions can receive package-authored behavioral instructions. - **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-29T03:30:20.409Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The launcher calls a helper that merges a package-defined instruction block into Claude memory and writes it to disk. - **Rationale:** The package automatically writes persistent instructions into an AI-agent control surface after a user starts a paired session. This warrants a warning for agent capability abuse, not a publication block. - **Files touched:** ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 87.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** A paired-session launch automatically invokes persistent agent-memory setup., The target is Claude's persistent CLAUDE.md configuration file., The setup merges a package-defined instruction block and writes it to that file., The install hook is present, but the inspected hook only prints usage guidance. - **Evidence against:** No install-hook configuration mutation or credential export was found in the inspected hook., The automatic change occurs when the user launches a paired Codeam session, not during package installation. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to codeam-cli@2.76.4. - Review the evidence and your use of codeam-cli@2.76.4 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.
