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. This is a first-party, explicit-user-command agent integration with persistent global configuration effects. It warrants a warning under the policy but lacks evidence of malicious install-time behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-26T07:27:37.405Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-26T07:29:15.267Z - **Download time:** 763 ms - **Static scan time:** 4357 ms - **AI review time:** 92741 ms - **Total time:** 97862 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:** Explicit CLI setup mutates IDE MCP configuration and user-level agent artifacts. Claude Code configuration enables telemetry to a localhost receiver; no install-time execution is defined. - **Trigger:** User runs fraim setup or fraim add-ide. - **Impact:** Can alter global IDE/agent behavior and install a runtime dependency under ~/.fraim. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/src/cli/commands/setup.js, dist/src/cli/commands/add-ide.js, dist/src/cli/setup/claude-code-telemetry.js, dist/src/cli/setup/ide-global-integration.js, dist/src/cli/setup/user-level-sync.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-26T07:29:15.267Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** User-invoked AI-agent configuration and local runtime dependency setup. - **Rationale:** This is a first-party, explicit-user-command agent integration with persistent global configuration effects. It warrants a warning under the policy but lacks evidence of malicious install-time behavior. - **Files touched:** ~/.claude/settings.json, ~/.claude/skills/fraim/SKILL.md, ~/.codex/skills/fraim/SKILL.md, ~/.fraim/package.json, detected IDE MCP configuration path - **Network endpoints:** http://localhost:4318, https://fraim.wellnessatwork.me ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** Explicit setup/add-ide writes detected IDE MCP configurations., Claude Code setup adds global telemetry environment variables., First-run integration can add FRAIM skills/commands to existing agent directories., Setup creates ~/.fraim package metadata and runs npm install for its runtime dependency. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall/install/postinstall lifecycle hook., Configuration is reached through explicit fraim setup/add-ide commands., Telemetry endpoint is localhost; inspected code shows no credential harvesting or external exfiltration chain. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to fraim@2.0.275. - Review the evidence and your use of fraim@2.0.275 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.
