## 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:** 2.0.2558
- **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:** Running the CLI provisions remote agent skills, rewrites project AI-agent instruction wiring, downloads a native runner, and launches it as a detached daemon. No install-time trigger exists.

- **Trigger:** User invokes gm-plugkit CLI or bootstrap entrypoint.

- **Impact:** Modifies broad AI-agent control surfaces and executes a remotely supplied native binary.

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

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-09T13:34:12.490Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** remote agent-skill provisioning and downloaded native daemon execution

- **Rationale:** This is a concrete, user-triggered AI-agent control-surface mutation and remote native-code execution chain. It is not an unconsented npm lifecycle attack, so policy calls for warning rather than blocking.

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

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 96.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** bootstrap.js refreshes remote SKILL.md files into ~/.agents and ~/.claude., bootstrap-shared.js rewrites project CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md to load .gm instructions., bootstrap.js downloads and executes agentplug-runner from GitHub releases., Remote binary/SKILL hashes lack a package-pinned trust anchor.

- **Evidence against:** package.json contains no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., Network/download behavior is reached through the user-invoked CLI/bootstrap path., No credential harvesting or unrelated-data exfiltration found.
