## 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:** 2.0.2540
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

Review flagged AI-agent configuration or capability changes. This remains warn-only unless evidence shows foreign-agent hijack through preinstall/install/postinstall, hidden persistence, exfiltration, remote code execution, or other concrete malicious behavior.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Normal gm-plugkit CLI/bootstrap execution modifies project agent-instruction files and global Claude/agent skills, downloads native code, and starts a detached spool daemon.

- **Trigger:** User runs the gm-plugkit CLI or calls ensureReady/bootstrap.

- **Impact:** Can alter AI-agent instructions and execute a remotely supplied native runner in the user's environment.

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

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-09T08:41:48.228Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Remote agent-extension provisioning and daemon installation.

- **Rationale:** Source confirms high-impact agent configuration mutation and remote native-code execution under an explicit CLI/bootstrap trigger. No install-time hook is present, so policy supports warning rather than publication block.

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

- **Network endpoints:** https://api.github.com/repos/AnEntrypoint/agentplug-bin/releases/latest, https://github.com/AnEntrypoint/agentplug-bin/releases/download/, https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AnEntrypoint/gm/main/skills/, https://registry.npmjs.org/gm-plugkit/latest

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 96.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** bootstrap.js:803 calls agent wiring on normal CLI/bootstrap execution., bootstrap-shared.js writes project CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, and .gm/next-step.md., bootstrap.js:624-704 downloads/updates skills in ~/.agents and ~/.claude., bootstrap.js:931-1007 downloads and detaches a native agentplug-runner daemon., SKILL.md instructs agents to route work through the spool daemon.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., All behavior is triggered by importing functions or invoking the CLI, not npm installation., Downloaded artifacts have SHA-256 checks, though hashes are fetched from the same remote source.
