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:** 2026.9.40 - **Selected version is latest:** Yes - **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. LPM treats this as warn-only first-party agent extension lifecycle risk. The postinstall adapts the installed mr-memory plugin in place as part of package installation. This is package-owned plugin setup; no concrete malicious attack surface was established. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 89.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-08T13:57:22.247Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-08T14:00:02.324Z - **Download time:** 7677 ms - **Static scan time:** 57910 ms - **AI review time:** 94489 ms - **Total time:** 160077 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:** The postinstall adapts the installed mr-memory plugin in place as part of package installation. This is package-owned plugin setup; no concrete malicious attack surface was established. - **Trigger:** npm install runs the postinstall hook. - **Impact:** The dependency is configured for this harness, with no confirmed broad agent-control mutation or exfiltration. - **Evidence paths:** scripts/postinstall.mjs, dist/migrate-plugin-adapters.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-08T14:00:02.324Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The hook locates the pinned mr-memory dependency and invokes its adapter; the inspected code limits adaptation to that dependency directory. - **Rationale:** The postinstall performs first-party plugin setup, which merits a warning under the agent integration policy. Inspected source does not establish credential theft, broad agent configuration mutation, or another concrete malicious chain. - **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall.mjs, dist/migrate-plugin-adapters.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 89.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The npm postinstall adapts the installed mr-memory package in place, creating a first-party plugin setup during installation., The agent-scope bundles define standard agent workspace filenames; the audit bundles enumerate installed plugins under the application state directory., The compact bundle reads AGENTS.md within the workspace boundary; the gateway CLI writes agent guidance files under its resolved directory. - **Evidence against:** The flagged fetch in dist/reply-C5LKjXcC.js is a browser-control service request with loopback authentication handling, not evidence of credential exfiltration., The postinstall limits this plugin adaptation to the installed dependency package; inspected evidence does not show broad consumer agent-config mutation or a malicious data transfer. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to johns-harness@2026.9.40. - Review the evidence and your use of johns-harness@2026.9.40 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.
