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:** 2.0.283 - **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. Source inspection found no lifecycle hooks, stealthy execution, credential harvesting, or remote payload chain. The package nevertheless performs user-level multi-agent integration and telemetry configuration during setup, so it warrants a warning for extension lifecycle risk. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-27T21:10:30.561Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-27T21:11:32.210Z - **Download time:** 507 ms - **Static scan time:** 5035 ms - **AI review time:** 56105 ms - **Total time:** 61649 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:** The package has explicit setup and first-run features that install FRAIM-branded agent skills, commands, and rules in existing user agent directories. No install-time execution or confirmed remote malicious behavior was found. - **Trigger:** Running FRAIM setup or completing its first-run configuration. - **Impact:** Changes may influence configured AI-agent behavior and enable local token telemetry. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js, bin/fraim.js, dist/src/first-run/session-service.js, dist/src/cli/setup/ide-global-integration.js, dist/src/cli/setup/claude-code-telemetry.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-27T21:11:32.210Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Writes FRAIM integration artifacts and optional local telemetry settings. - **Rationale:** Source inspection found no lifecycle hooks, stealthy execution, credential harvesting, or remote payload chain. The package nevertheless performs user-level multi-agent integration and telemetry configuration during setup, so it warrants a warning for extension lifecycle risk. - **Files touched:** ~/.claude/skills/fraim/SKILL.md, ~/.claude/commands/fraim.md, ~/.codex/skills/fraim/SKILL.md, ~/.cursor/rules/fraim.mdc, ~/.claude/settings.json - **Network endpoints:** http://localhost:4318 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** The user-driven first-run flow installs FRAIM artifacts into detected AI-agent configuration directories., The global installer updates FRAIM-owned files in Claude, Codex, Cursor, Grok, Gemini, Windsurf, and Kiro configuration areas., A telemetry helper can add OpenTelemetry environment settings to Claude Code's user settings. - **Evidence against:** package.json declares no preinstall, install, or postinstall lifecycle hook., The inspected entrypoints only load the CLI when invoked directly., The telemetry endpoint is local, and no source evidence showed credential theft, remote payload execution, or covert exfiltration., The agent-config writes are named FRAIM artifacts and occur in explicit setup or first-run flows. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to fraim@2.0.283. - Review the evidence and your use of fraim@2.0.283 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.
