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:** 2.0.2523 - **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. The package presents a real, persistent AI-agent extension and daemon capability with mutable remote instruction delivery. Its lack of lifecycle hooks and explicit user-command trigger do not meet the publish-block threshold. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-07T22:08:54.936Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-07T22:09:42.836Z - **Download time:** 506 ms - **Static scan time:** 159 ms - **AI review time:** 47234 ms - **Total time:** 47900 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 gm-plugkit execution persistently configures project and user AI-agent instruction surfaces, fetches remote skills from a mutable branch, and starts a downloaded native spool daemon. No install-time execution is present. - **Trigger:** User runs the gm-plugkit CLI or bootstrap.js. - **Impact:** Can alter future agent behavior through project instructions and user skill directories; remote content is trusted at runtime. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, cli.js, bootstrap.js, bootstrap-shared.js, SKILL.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-07T22:09:42.836Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** remote agent-skill provisioning and native daemon bootstrap - **Rationale:** The package presents a real, persistent AI-agent extension and daemon capability with mutable remote instruction delivery. Its lack of lifecycle hooks and explicit user-command trigger do not meet the publish-block threshold. - **Files touched:** .gm/next-step.md, .gm/instructions/, CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, ~/.agents/skills/\/SKILL.md, ~/.claude/skills/\/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.md, https://github.com/AnEntrypoint/agentplug-bin/releases/download/\, https://registry.npmjs.org/gm-plugkit/latest ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** bootstrap.js:803 invokes project wiring on normal CLI bootstrap, bootstrap-shared.js:258-289 writes .gm/next-step.md and modifies CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md, bootstrap.js:624-694 fetches skills from GitHub main and writes ~/.agents and ~/.claude skill files, bootstrap.js:931-960 downloads and installs a native agentplug-runner, then cli.js executes it, SKILL.md directs agents to follow spool-returned imperatives - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall/install/postinstall hooks, Risky behavior is reached by explicit bin/runtime invocation, not package installation, Downloaded wasm/native runner is SHA-256 checked before use, No source evidence of credential harvesting or outbound data exfiltration ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to gm-plugkit@2.0.2523. - Review the evidence and your use of gm-plugkit@2.0.2523 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.
