## 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:** 2.0.1
- **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:** The package is an AI-agent orchestration CLI that explicitly installs its own rules/skills into user assistant config directories and can run local AI CLIs with broad permissions. This is high-risk but user-command activated, not install-time hijacking.

- **Trigger:** User runs imhcode initialization or live agent execution commands.

- **Impact:** Can alter assistant behavior globally and run generated task scripts/agent CLIs in user projects when invoked.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/imhcode.js, src/orchestrator/executor.ts, skills/ui-ux-pro-max/cli/src/utils/github.ts, skills/ui-ux-pro-max/cli/src/utils/template.ts, AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-07-05T13:20:25.861Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** explicit agent config mutation and local CLI execution with permission bypass flags

- **Rationale:** Source inspection shows no npm lifecycle execution, credential harvesting, or exfiltration, but confirms explicit user-command mutation of broad AI-agent control surfaces and dangerous live agent execution flags. This warrants a warning rather than a publish block under the provided policy.

- **Files touched:** ~/.imhcode/, ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md, ~/.claude/AGENTS.md, ~/.claude/skills/, ~/.gemini/CLAUDE.md, ~/.gemini/AGENTS.md, ~/.gemini/skills/, ~/.copilot/CLAUDE.md, ~/.copilot/AGENTS.md, ~/.copilot/skills/, ~/.local/bin/imhcode, ~/.zshrc, ~/.bashrc, docs/start.md, .imhcode/imhcode.config.json

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 87.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for:** bin/imhcode.js default runInit copies AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, and skills into ~/.claude, ~/.gemini, ~/.copilot., bin/imhcode.js registerCliGlobally writes shims into ~/.imhcode/bin and ~/.local/bin and may append PATH to shell rc files., src/orchestrator/executor.ts Codex/OpenCode live adapters invoke agent CLIs with permission/sandbox bypass flags., bin/imhcode.js ensureCavemanAndGraphify may run npm install -g skills and npx skills add juliusbrussee/caveman from explicit init command.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall/install/postinstall lifecycle scripts., Dangerous writes are triggered by explicit imhcode CLI commands, not package install or import., No source evidence of credential harvesting or secret exfiltration found in inspected entrypoints., Network use is package-aligned GitHub/release/download or development UI CDN behavior., PDF and bundled skill files appear to be shipped documentation/assets, not executed by lifecycle hooks.
