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. Source inspection confirms that an npm postinstall hook automatically changes repository-level Copilot configuration when it detects a repository, without an interactive consent step. The setup is first-party and local, so this supports a warning for agent extension lifecycle risk rather than a block. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-17T01:04:19.748Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-17T01:05:52.926Z - **Download time:** 510 ms - **Static scan time:** 1129 ms - **AI review time:** 91538 ms - **Total time:** 93178 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 adds Copilot instructions and MCP configuration to detected repositories. This is first-party local setup, but it changes agent configuration as an install side effect without an interactive consent gate. - **Trigger:** Installing the package in a detected repository outside CI or production. - **Impact:** The install can change instructions and tools available to Copilot in the repository; no credential transfer or remote endpoint was identified in this setup path. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, workspace/.github/AGENTS.md, workspace/.github/copilot-instructions.md, workspace/.vscode/mcp.json - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-17T01:05:52.926Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The hook copies package-owned workspace instructions and creates or merges a project MCP configuration that launches this package's local server. - **Rationale:** Source inspection confirms that an npm postinstall hook automatically changes repository-level Copilot configuration when it detects a repository, without an interactive consent step. The setup is first-party and local, so this supports a warning for agent extension lifecycle risk rather than a block. - **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall.js, .github/AGENTS.md, .github/copilot-instructions.md, .vscode/mcp.json ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** package.json runs a postinstall hook that starts scripts/postinstall.js., The hook skips development, CI, and production installs; in other repository installs it proceeds without an interactive consent step., In a detected repository, the hook copies Copilot workspace assets and creates an MCP configuration., The MCP configuration is merged with existing settings and written to the repository., The generated entry registers this package's local MCP server, making the behavior first-party setup. - **Evidence against:** The inspected setup uses a local Node command and preserves existing MCP servers in its merge., No credential transfer or remote endpoint was identified in the inspected postinstall path. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to copilot-framework@1.6.0. - Review the evidence and your use of copilot-framework@1.6.0 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.
