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:** 4.6.0 - **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 build script performs automatic, publisher-hosted updates to project agent instructions, leaving a concrete configuration risk. The package’s lifecycle hooks do not invoke that sync, so the evidence supports a warning rather than a block. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-19T10:25:07.964Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-19T10:26:17.076Z - **Download time:** 1031 ms - **Static scan time:** 505 ms - **AI review time:** 67575 ms - **Total time:** 69112 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:** A build run can automatically replace the project’s agent instruction file and directory with newer content fetched from the package publisher’s host. This creates a guarded agent-configuration risk; the reviewed source does not establish malicious content or an install-hook trigger for this replacement. - **Trigger:** Running the packaged build script when the server reports a newer agent-instructions version. - **Impact:** Project agent instructions and supporting files can change, potentially affecting later agent behavior. - **Evidence paths:** files/buildCodeplay/codeplayBeforeBuild-6.2.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-19T10:26:17.076Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The script downloads a versioned archive from htmlcodeplay.com, then replaces the project’s AGENTS.md and AGENTS directory. - **Rationale:** The build script performs automatic, publisher-hosted updates to project agent instructions, leaving a concrete configuration risk. The package’s lifecycle hooks do not invoke that sync, so the evidence supports a warning rather than a block. - **Files touched:** package.json, files/buildCodeplay/codeplayBeforeBuild-6.2.js, scripts/sync-files.js - **Network endpoints:** https://htmlcodeplay.com/code-play-plugin/ ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The postinstall hook copies package files into the consumer project and updates its package.json scripts., Running the packaged build script fetches newer agent instructions from htmlcodeplay.com and replaces the project’s AGENTS.md and AGENTS directory when the remote version is newer., The build script calls this agent-instruction sync as part of its build flow. - **Evidence against:** The agent-instruction sync is in a build script; the package’s install hooks run scripts/sync-files.js and scripts/uninstall.js instead. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to codeplay-common@4.6.0. - Review the evidence and your use of codeplay-common@4.6.0 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. ## Public findings ### 1.
