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:** 0.1.51 - **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. The automatic MCP setup creates a real but unresolved agent extension lifecycle risk. The inspected source does not establish unconsented broad control-surface mutation or another concrete attack, so this warrants a warning rather than a block. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 78.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-09T09:28:28.870Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-09T09:28:54.488Z - **Download time:** 2283 ms - **Static scan time:** 111 ms - **AI review time:** 23223 ms - **Total time:** 25618 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:** Automatic installation launches Chrome MCP setup commands. The inspected source does not establish the configuration scope or confirm an attack surface. - **Trigger:** Package installation runs the postinstall hook. - **Impact:** The bridge may configure Chrome MCP integration; the affected configuration and scope are not established by the inspected source. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/setup-chrome-mcp.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-09T09:28:54.488Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The script resolves the declared bridge CLI and, without arguments, invokes its permission-fix, Chrome registration, and diagnostic commands. - **Rationale:** The automatic MCP setup creates a real but unresolved agent extension lifecycle risk. The inspected source does not establish unconsented broad control-surface mutation or another concrete attack, so this warrants a warning rather than a block. - **Files touched:** scripts/setup-chrome-mcp.mjs ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 78.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The package runs its Chrome MCP setup script automatically after installation and depends on the bridge it invokes., With no arguments, the setup script runs the bridge’s permission-fix, Chrome registration, and diagnostic commands. - **Evidence against:** The inspected script delegates to the package’s declared Chrome MCP bridge dependency; it shows no credential access or remote payload execution., The inspected source does not establish what configuration the bridge changes or whether it reaches a foreign or broad agent control surface. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to langcli-com@0.1.51. - Review the evidence and your use of langcli-com@0.1.51 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.
