## 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:** 2.0.2572
- **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:** Explicit gm-plugkit CLI use installs mutable agent skills into global Claude/agent directories, rewires project agent instructions, and starts a downloaded native daemon.

- **Trigger:** User runs gm-plugkit (for example bun x gm-plugkit@latest).

- **Impact:** A remote publisher can alter future AI-agent instructions and daemon behavior through mutable upstream content.

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

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-10T21:45:51.547Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Remote agent-skill deployment and detached native spool-daemon launch.

- **Rationale:** The source establishes a concrete, remotely updateable agent-control surface and detached native execution path. Because no npm lifecycle hook triggers it without a user command, policy supports warning rather than publication block.

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

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

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 95.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** bootstrap.js fetches mutable GitHub SKILL.md files and writes them to ~/.agents/skills and ~/.claude/skills., bootstrap-shared.js modifies project CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md to load .gm instructions., bootstrap.js downloads a native agentplug-runner and launches it detached as a spool daemon., The downloaded runner’s hash is fetched from the same mutable release, not a package-pinned trust root.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, postinstall, or prepare hook., Importing index.js only exports functions; mutation occurs through explicit CLI/bootstrap use., No source evidence of credential harvesting or exfiltration.

## Public findings

L168: const dir = gmToolsDir();
L169: const names = process.platform === 'win32'
L170: ? ['agentplug-runner.exe']
```

### 6. Critical: Trigger Reachable Dangerous Capability
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 90.0%
- **Path:** bootstrap.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/gm-plugkit@2.0.2572/bootstrap.js>)

A package entrypoint or install-time lifecycle script reaches a source file with blocking dangerous behavior.

- **Category:** Supply Chain
- **Confidence:** 65.0%

Package source contains URL literals.

### 9. Medium: Structural Risk Force Deep Review
- **Category:** Artifact Inventory
- **Confidence:** 85.0%

Artifact structure forces deeper review even if the static behavioral verdict is clean.

- **Confidence:** 97.0%
- **Path:** cli.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/gm-plugkit@2.0.2572/cli.js>)

Source file is highly similar to a previously finalized malicious package; route for source-aware review.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
matchType = normalized_sha256
matchedPackage = gm-plugkit@2.0.2547
matchedPath = cli.js
matchedIdentity = npm:Z20tcGx1Z2tpdA:2.0.2547
similarity = 1.000
summary = normalized source hash matched finalized malicious source
