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:** 0.2.1 - **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 source shows conditional, automatic agent hook setup after DeskBuddy account binding, which warrants a warning for package-owned agent integration. It does not establish concrete malicious behavior or an npm install-time attack. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-17T12:57:31.281Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-17T12:59:42.213Z - **Download time:** 1295 ms - **Static scan time:** 4515 ms - **AI review time:** 125121 ms - **Total time:** 130932 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:** When the bound DeskBuddy daemon runs, it can automatically add DeskBuddy event hooks to detected agent settings. This is first-party integration setup, but it can enable ongoing hook execution without a separate confirmation for each detected client; source inspection did not establish a hostile payload or broader control takeover. - **Trigger:** The daemon runs with an account binding present; its first scan occurs after about ten seconds and repeats hourly. - **Impact:** Agent events may invoke DeskBuddy hooks after automatic configuration changes; no separate malicious effect was confirmed. - **Evidence paths:** dist/cli.js, dist/chunk-QFAGVCHM.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-17T12:59:42.213Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** It detects installed agent clients, excludes already enabled or disabled clients, and invokes the installer to add hooks to each remaining client's configuration. - **Rationale:** The source shows conditional, automatic agent hook setup after DeskBuddy account binding, which warrants a warning for package-owned agent integration. It does not establish concrete malicious behavior or an npm install-time attack. - **Files touched:** dist/cli.js, dist/chunk-QFAGVCHM.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** package.json exposes a CLI; its only lifecycle script is prepublishOnly, which runs checks and builds., The daemon starts an automatic integration scan after about ten seconds and repeats it hourly., After account binding, the scan detects installed agent clients and passes new candidates to the installer in automatic mode; disabled clients are skipped., The installer writes hooks to each detected client's configuration path, and the Claude Code adapter adds command hooks to its settings., The indicated agent configuration locations resolve to settings-path, protected-directory, and history-reading helpers; they do not establish a separate attack. - **Evidence against:** No npm install lifecycle hook was found; automatic integration requires the running daemon and an existing account binding. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to deskbuddy@0.2.1. - Review the evidence and your use of deskbuddy@0.2.1 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.
