## 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:** 0.1.51
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **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.

The package has a real, privileged AI-agent capability and automatic telemetry, warranting a warning for users of a dependency firewall. Source inspection found no lifecycle hook, stealth persistence, credential exfiltration, remote payload execution, or unconsented mutation of a foreign AI-agent control surface.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** This is an AI-enabled Kubernetes administration CLI with configured automatic remediation for restart actions. It also sends one first-run telemetry event containing a generated machine ID and platform metadata to its own API; no malicious payload, install-time execution, or foreign agent-control mutation was found.

- **Trigger:** User runs kubeagent commands; remediation occurs during its diagnose/watch workflow under the local configuration.

- **Impact:** Can restart or alter Kubernetes workloads using the invoking user's kubectl permissions; first run sends limited telemetry.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/telemetry.js, dist/kubectl.js, dist/diagnoser/index.js, dist/diagnoser/tools.js, dist/config.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-11T17:40:19.019Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** AI-directed, schema-limited kubectl remediation with configured safe actions

- **Rationale:** The package has a real, privileged AI-agent capability and automatic telemetry, warranting a warning for users of a dependency firewall. Source inspection found no lifecycle hook, stealth persistence, credential exfiltration, remote payload execution, or unconsented mutation of a foreign AI-agent control surface.

- **Files touched:** ~/.kubeagent/.machine-id, ~/.kubeagent/.telemetry-sent, ~/.kubeagent/config.yaml, ~/.kubeagent/auth.json

- **Network endpoints:** https://api.kubeagent.net/telemetry, https://api.kubeagent.net/v1/messages, https://api.osv.dev/v1/query, https://endoflife.date/api/

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 94.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** dist/telemetry.js auto-posts a generated machine ID and platform/version data on first CLI run., dist/diagnoser/tools.js can restart pods, restart deployments, scale deployments, and change resources via kubectl., dist/config.js defaults auto\_fix on and auto-approves restart\_pod and rollout\_restart.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, postinstall, or prepare hook., dist/kubectl.js uses execFile with structured arguments, not a shell, and tool inputs are schema-constrained., dist/diagnoser/index.js requires approval for actions outside configured safe actions and denies them without an approver., Network calls target KubeAgent service endpoints or explicit notification/CVE services; no credential/file harvesting or remote code loader was found., dist/auth.js stores user-created credentials under ~/.kubeagent/auth.json with mode 0600.

### 9. High: Semantic Analysis Limited
- **Category:** Scanner Coverage
- **Confidence:** 100.0%
- **Path:** dist/detector/sources.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/kubeagent@0.1.51/dist/detector/sources.js>)

A bounded semantic-analysis stage reached its safety limit; remaining detectors completed, but this package requires AI review.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
stage = ast_semantic_analysis; reason = ast_alias_growth_limit_exceeded; limitedFiles = 1
```

### 10. High: Previous Version Dangerous Delta
- **Category:** Supply Chain
- **Confidence:** 93.0%
- **Path:** dist/cli.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/kubeagent@0.1.51/dist/cli.js>)

This package version adds a dangerous source file absent from the previous stored version; route for source-aware review.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
matchType = previous_version_dangerous_delta
matchedPackage = kubeagent@0.1.50
matchedIdentity = npm:a3ViZWFnZW50:0.1.50
similarity = 0.977
summary = stored previous version shares package body but lacks this dangerous source file
```
