## Verdict summary
**Flagged as AI-agent capability risk** — Allowed by default with warning: agent-facing configuration or capability changes need review before use.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Warn-only AI-agent capability risk
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** AI-agent capability abuse
- **Selected version:** 2.0.2522
- **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 confirms an explicit-user-command agent configuration and remote-code supply-chain capability. No lifecycle hook, credential theft, or autonomous exfiltration was found, so this should warn rather than block.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 98.0%
- **Started:** 2026-08-07T19:31:30.886Z

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:** An explicit gm-plugkit CLI run alters project agent-instruction files and installs/updates global agent skills. It can fetch instructions from an unpinned GitHub main branch and execute a downloaded runner.

- **Trigger:** User runs gm-plugkit (for example via bun x/npx) or calls ensureReady.

- **Impact:** Can influence future AI-agent behavior across projects and execute remotely supplied binaries.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, cli.js, bootstrap.js, bootstrap-shared.js, SKILL.md

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-07T19:32:24.287Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Remote agent-skill installation, project instruction wiring, and downloaded runner execution.

- **Rationale:** Source confirms an explicit-user-command agent configuration and remote-code supply-chain capability. No lifecycle hook, credential theft, or autonomous exfiltration was found, so this should warn rather than block.

- **Files touched:** CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, .gm/next-step.md, .gm/instructions/, ~/.agents/skills/\<skill\>/SKILL.md, ~/.claude/skills/\<skill\>/SKILL.md, ~/.gm-tools/agentplug-runner

- **Network endpoints:** https://api.github.com/repos/AnEntrypoint/gm/contents/skills?ref=main, https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AnEntrypoint/gm/main/skills/\<skill\>/SKILL.md, https://github.com/AnEntrypoint/agentplug-bin/releases/download/\<tag\>/\<asset\>

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 98.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for warning:** bootstrap.js:624 refreshes skills into ~/.agents/skills and ~/.claude/skills., bootstrap.js:636 discovers remote skills; missing local skills are fetched from GitHub main., bootstrap.js:803 invokes project wiring on every explicit bootstrap., bootstrap-shared.js:266 prepends CLAUDE.md and appends AGENTS.md., SKILL.md directs agents to replace questions/summaries with its command protocol., cli.js:145 executes the downloaded agentplug-runner.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall/install/postinstall hooks., Execution and writes require an explicit CLI/bootstrap invocation., No credential harvesting or outbound data-exfiltration logic found., Release artifacts are SHA-256 checked, though hashes are fetched remotely.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to gm-plugkit@2.0.2522.

- Review the evidence and your use of gm-plugkit@2.0.2522 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.
