## Verdict summary
**Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 26 finding(s) warrant review before installing.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Matched warn-list
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** None published
- **Selected version:** 7.1.107
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

The AI recommended clean. Static policy retained a warning. The static scanner classified the package as malicious with confidence of at least 85%. A critical static finding has confidence of at least 90%. These conditions do not mean that the AI confirmed malicious behavior.

AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

No install-time or import-time attack was identified. Flagged AGENTS.md references are workspace prompt configuration and reads inside the running assistant.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 84.0%

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:** No install-time or import-time attack was identified. Flagged AGENTS.md references are workspace prompt configuration and reads inside the running assistant.

- **Trigger:** No automatic install trigger. Workspace prompt loading and optional skill scripts run only when the user starts the CLI or those scripts.

- **Impact:** No unconsented foreign agent-control mutation, credential export, or remote payload execution was established from the inspected entry points.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-26T12:57:12.177Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** The package does not register npm lifecycle hooks. Runtime code reads the consumer workspace AGENTS.md into its own prompt context.

- **Rationale:** engine7 is an assistant runtime whose package.json has no install hooks, and the flagged AGENTS.md sites only configure or read workspace prompt files. The bundled skill scripts execute only when invoked and do not form a supply-chain attack.

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 84.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Final policy explanation:** The AI recommended clean. Static policy retained a warning. The static scanner classified the package as malicious with confidence of at least 85%. A critical static finding has confidence of at least 90%. These conditions do not mean that the AI confirmed malicious behavior.

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json exposes bin engine7 and main dist/main.mjs with build, test, prepublishOnly, and prepack scripts and no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., dist/cli.mjs default init config names workspace prompt files such as AGENTS.md; it does not write a foreign agent control surface during install., dist/engine-startup.mjs reads an existing workspace AGENTS.md into the memory prompt when the engine runs., dist/main.mjs performs the same workspace AGENTS.md read for the memory prompt., templates/skills/superpowers/brainstorming/scripts/server.cjs starts its HTTP server only when that file is the main module., templates/skills/superpowers/writing-skills/render-graphs.js calls local graphviz only when that skill script renders diagrams.

- **Evidence against:** An explicit engine7 service install command can write a user startup wrapper after init., The brainstorming helper binds 127.0.0.1 unless BRAINSTORM\_HOST is set, and only when the script is run.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to engine7@7.1.107.

- Review the evidence and your use of engine7@7.1.107 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.
