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:** 0.215.1 - **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 a package-aligned CLI installer rather than confirmed theft or persistence, but its automatic remote native-binary fallback and permissive token-host check leave a concrete supply-chain and credential-exposure risk. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 82.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-13T02:01:29.148Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-13T02:02:03.453Z - **Download time:** 256 ms - **Static scan time:** 119 ms - **AI review time:** 33929 ms - **Total time:** 34305 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:** Installation may fetch a native platform binary and replace this package's droid shim with it. The downloaded archive is not checked against an integrity value in this source. - **Trigger:** Automatic npm postinstall when an optional platform dependency is unavailable. - **Impact:** A compromised or redirected package-download path could supply code executed by the droid command; the hostname check could disclose NPM\_TOKEN to a lookalike host containing npmjs.org. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, install.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-13T02:02:03.453Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Registry fallback downloads and links a native executable. - **Rationale:** The source shows a package-aligned CLI installer rather than confirmed theft or persistence, but its automatic remote native-binary fallback and permissive token-host check leave a concrete supply-chain and credential-exposure risk. - **Files touched:** bin/droid, bin/droid.backup, bin/\ - **Network endpoints:** https://registry.npmjs.org/ ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 82.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** A postinstall hook automatically runs install.js., The installer can download a platform binary from the npm registry and write it as an executable., The fallback request forwards NPM\_TOKEN to any hostname containing npmjs.org., The hook replaces the package command shim with a linked native binary. - **Evidence against:** Platform packages and versions are explicitly mapped in the manifest., The observed writes are limited to this package's bin directory., No source reads user files, modifies agent settings, or sends harvested data to a non-package service., The command shim executes the selected platform binary with user-supplied arguments. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to droid@0.215.1. - Review the evidence and your use of droid@0.215.1 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.
