## 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:** 2.7.7
- **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.

Source inspection found no concrete malware or unconsented lifecycle mutation. The explicit init path nevertheless persists a global Claude hook that executes a mutable latest version, warranting a warning.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 95.0%
- **Started:** 2026-07-25T21:41:21.192Z
- **Finished:** 2026-07-25T21:42:17.855Z
- **Download time:** 506 ms
- **Static scan time:** 2693 ms
- **AI review time:** 53463 ms
- **Total time:** 56663 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:** No install-time control-surface mutation is present. An explicit \`monomind init\` can alter project and global Claude configuration, add a hook that resolves the latest package, and start background work.

- **Trigger:** User runs \`monomind init\`

- **Impact:** Persists a package-controlled SessionStart command in the user Claude configuration.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, packages/@monomind/cli/dist/src/commands/init.js, packages/@monomind/cli/dist/src/init/executor.js, packages/@monomind/cli/dist/src/services/crash-reporter.js, packages/@monomind/cli/dist/src/mcp-tools/quality/security-compliance/detect-secrets.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-07-25T21:42:17.855Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Explicit Claude configuration and hook installation

- **Rationale:** Source inspection found no concrete malware or unconsented lifecycle mutation. The explicit init path nevertheless persists a global Claude hook that executes a mutable latest version, warranting a warning.

- **Files touched:** .claude/settings.json, ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md, ~/.claude/settings.json, .monomind/monograph.watch.pid, .monomind/monograph.watch.log

- **Network endpoints:** https://api.github.com/repos/${repo}/issues

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 95.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for warning:** \`init\` writes global \`~/.claude/CLAUDE.md\` and \`~/.claude/settings.json\`., It adds a SessionStart hook running \`npx --yes monomind@latest tokens today\`., Default \`init\` starts a detached project watcher and invokes \`npx monomind@latest swarm init\`., Crash reporting is enabled by default and can send redacted crash data to GitHub.

- **Evidence against:** The only postinstall action deletes \`.\_\*\` files under \`node\_modules\`; it does not install agent configuration., Global agent changes occur only through explicit \`monomind init\`, not installation or import., CLI/MCP execution requires explicit command or opt-in MCP autodetect., Secret detection scans a caller-provided target path and no exfiltration was found in that tool.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to monomind@2.7.7.

- Review the evidence and your use of monomind@2.7.7 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report.
