## 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:** 0.24.2
- **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 is not proven malware or an install-hook attack, but its explicit setup command changes an AI-agent control surface and its prepare hook mutates Git configuration. This warrants a warning under the stated policy.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 89.0%
- **Started:** 2026-09-08T21:23:11.558Z
- **Finished:** 2026-09-08T21:24:06.522Z
- **Download time:** 759 ms
- **Static scan time:** 369 ms
- **AI review time:** 53835 ms
- **Total time:** 54964 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 user-invoked setup command alters the current project's Claude Code settings and can install a Modelence plugin. Separately, application startup reports a hostname and project name to the configured Modelence service.

- **Trigger:** Running the modelence setup command, or starting an application configured with a Modelence service endpoint.

- **Impact:** A user who runs setup may add a third-party Claude plugin to the project; startup telemetry exposes limited host and project metadata to the service.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/bin/modelence.js, dist/chunk-RAWHQTR6.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-08T21:24:06.522Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Project-scoped agent plugin configuration and startup telemetry.

- **Rationale:** The package is not proven malware or an install-hook attack, but its explicit setup command changes an AI-agent control surface and its prepare hook mutates Git configuration. This warrants a warning under the stated policy.

- **Files touched:** .claude/settings.json, .modelence.env, .modelence/project.json

- **Network endpoints:** cloud.modelence.com

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 89.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for warning:** The prepare lifecycle command changes the enclosing Git repository hook path., The explicit setup command adds and enables a Modelence Claude Code plugin in the project settings file., The setup command can invoke Claude to add a marketplace and install that plugin., Server startup sends the local hostname and project name to the configured Modelence service endpoint unless tracking is disabled.

- **Evidence against:** There is no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook, and no dependency on another modelence release., Claude configuration and plugin installation occur only from the user-invoked setup command, with an interactive installation prompt., The observed network calls support named Modelence setup, deployment, and telemetry functions; no secret-file harvesting or opaque payload download was found.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to modelence@0.24.2.

- Review the evidence and your use of modelence@0.24.2 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report.
