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 automatic lifecycle hook changes project-local agent configuration and enables package-defined behavior without an affirmative setup prompt, leaving a concrete lifecycle setup risk. The inspected changes are first-party scaffolding, preserve existing configuration, and do not establish a hostile attack. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-17T01:04:26.356Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-17T01:05:29.738Z - **Download time:** 772 ms - **Static scan time:** 1268 ms - **AI review time:** 61339 ms - **Total time:** 63382 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 automatic postinstall setup modifies project-local Copilot configuration by adding package-provided instructions, skills, and an MCP server. This is a real agent configuration risk, but the inspected behavior is first-party scaffolding and does not establish a hostile attack. - **Trigger:** npm installation in a recognized repository, except when the hook detects CI or production mode. - **Impact:** The repository's agent may follow new automatic session instructions and start the configured local MCP server. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, workspace/.vscode/mcp.json, workspace/.github/AGENTS.md, dist/test/setup-update-mode.test.js, dist/test/update-reindex-mode.test.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-17T01:05:29.738Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The hook copies missing instruction and skill files, then merges the package's MCP server into the repository's VS Code MCP configuration. - **Rationale:** The automatic lifecycle hook changes project-local agent configuration and enables package-defined behavior without an affirmative setup prompt, leaving a concrete lifecycle setup risk. The inspected changes are first-party scaffolding, preserve existing configuration, and do not establish a hostile attack. - **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall.js, workspace/.vscode/mcp.json, workspace/.github/AGENTS.md, workspace/.github/copilot-instructions.md ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** package.json runs scripts/postinstall.js automatically; the hook skips CI and production installs, then scaffolds recognized repository roots., The hook merges the package's MCP server into project-local .vscode/mcp.json and writes the result, preserving existing server entries., The hook copies package-provided agent instructions and skills when missing; those instructions enable automatic session behavior., The inspected setup tests check for generated AGENTS.md files, consistent with the scaffolding behavior. - **Evidence against:** The configured MCP server runs the package's local entrypoint, and the hook preserves existing project configuration; no external endpoint is configured in the inspected MCP template. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to copilot-framework@1.6.4. - Review the evidence and your use of copilot-framework@1.6.4 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.
