## 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)

LPM treats this as warn-only first-party agent extension lifecycle risk. Installation can automatically add FocalAPI skill files to detected AI-agent skill directories. Those skills route later media-generation requests through the FocalAPI CLI.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Installation can automatically add FocalAPI skill files to detected AI-agent skill directories. Those skills route later media-generation requests through the FocalAPI CLI.

- **Trigger:** npm postinstall, when a supported local agent is detected and CI/skip flags are absent.

- **Impact:** Changes available agent capabilities without an explicit connect command; later user-directed CLI use may send requests to FocalAPI.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.cjs, dist/cli.js, skills/focalapi/SKILL.md

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-11T15:42:56.799Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** automatic first-party AI-agent skill installation

- **Rationale:** The static DNS/exfiltration finding is unsupported by source inspection. Automatic postinstall mutation of detected AI-agent skill directories remains a lifecycle risk that warrants a warning, not a block.

- **Files touched:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.cjs, dist/cli.js, skills/focalapi/SKILL.md, skills/focalapi-gen/SKILL.md, skills/focalapi-auth/SKILL.md

- **Network endpoints:** https://api.focalapi.com, https://registry.npmjs.org/focalapi-cli/latest

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 93.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** package.json runs postinstall., scripts/postinstall.cjs invokes \`connect install\` automatically., dist/cli.js detects installed AI-agent skill directories and copies bundled skills there.

- **Evidence against:** Postinstall only launches the bundled CLI locally; no network call is reachable on that path., Skill installation copies only focalapi-prefixed bundled directories and records hashes in its manifest., No DNS, eval, remote payload loading, credential harvesting, or provider/config takeover was found.

## Public findings

### 1. High: Install Time Lifecycle Scripts
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 90.0%
- **Path:** package.json
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/focalapi-cli@0.2.1/package.json>)

Package defines install-time lifecycle scripts.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```json
scripts.postinstall = node scripts/postinstall.cjs
```

### 2. Medium: Ambiguous Install Lifecycle Script
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 75.0%
- **Path:** package.json
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/focalapi-cli@0.2.1/package.json>)

Install-time lifecycle script is not statically allowlisted and needs review.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```json
scripts.postinstall = node scripts/postinstall.cjs
```

### 3. Low: Non Install Lifecycle Scripts
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 80.0%

Package declares lifecycle scripts that are not normally run for registry tarball installs.

### 4. Low: Scripts Present
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 100.0%

Package declares npm scripts.

### 5. Medium: Network
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 75.0%

Package source references network APIs.

### 6. Medium: Environment Vars
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 75.0%

Package source references environment variables.

### 7. Low: Filesystem
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 70.0%

Package source references filesystem APIs.

### 8. High: Credential Redirect Persistence
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 94.0%
- **Path:** dist/cli.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/focalapi-cli@0.2.1/dist/cli.js>)

Manifest-reachable source sends a prompted API credential to a fixed unofficial gateway and persists the redirection.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
Manifest-reachable source captures an API credential, sends it to a fixed unofficial gateway, and persists that redirection in agent or shell configuration.
dist/cli.js:
if (/api[-_]?key|authorization|token/i.test(k) && typeof v === "string") {
import { createInterface } from "readline/promises";
import { chmodSync, existsSync, mkdirSync, readFileSync, writeFileSync } from "fs";
writeFileSync(path, JSON.stringify(config, null, 2) + "\n", "utf-8");
function resolveBaseUrl(explicit, profileName) {
const fromProfile = getProfile(profileName).baseUrl;
const baseUrl = resolveBaseUrl(opts?.baseUrl, opts?.profile);
return { apiKey: opts.key, baseUrl, keySource: "flag" };
```

### 9. Critical: Dns Exfiltration
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 88.0%
- **Path:** dist/cli.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/focalapi-cli@0.2.1/dist/cli.js>)

Source appears to send environment or credential material through DNS lookups.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
L70: function isInteractive() {
L71: return Boolean(process.stdout.isTTY) && !process.env.CI;
L72: }
...
L101: function printJson(data) {
L102: process.stdout.write(JSON.stringify(sanitize(data), null, 2) + "\n");
L103: }
...
L166: import { join } from "path";
L167: var DEFAULT_BASE_URL = "https://api.focalapi.com";
L168: var DEFAULT_PROFILE = "default";
...
L178: function configDir() {
L179: const dir = process.env.FOCALAPI_CONFIG_DIR ?? join(homedir(), ".focalapi");
L180: return normalizeHomePath(dir);
```

### 10. Critical: Trigger Reachable Dangerous Capability
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 90.0%
- **Path:** dist/cli.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/focalapi-cli@0.2.1/dist/cli.js>)

A package entrypoint or install-time lifecycle script reaches a source file with blocking dangerous behavior.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
Trigger-reachable chain: manifest.bin -> dist/cli.js
Reachable file contains a blocking source-risk pattern.
```

### 11. Low: High Entropy Strings
- **Category:** Supply Chain
- **Confidence:** 55.0%

Package source contains high-entropy string patterns.

### 12. Low: Url Strings
- **Category:** Supply Chain
- **Confidence:** 65.0%

Package source contains URL literals.

### 13. Medium: Structural Risk Force Deep Review
- **Category:** Artifact Inventory
- **Confidence:** 100.0%

Artifact structure forces deeper review even if the static behavioral verdict is clean.
