## 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:** 0.6.7
- **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.

The package automatically modifies the installed Claude Agent SDK CLI to disable a reminder, creating an install-time agent lifecycle risk. The narrow version and content checks reduce scope, so the evidence supports a warning rather than a publish block.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 86.0%

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 package has an automatic install hook that patches the installed Claude Agent SDK CLI to disable a reminder. This is a bounded modification to a specific dependency, but it changes agent-related behavior without an explicit user command.

- **Trigger:** Installing the package through npm triggers its postinstall script.

- **Impact:** The SDK CLI reminder is disabled for the patched installation; no broader agent configuration write or data transfer was established.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.mjs

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-11T04:49:42.583Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The script finds the installed SDK, checks its version and expected patch context, then replaces text in the SDK's cli.js file.

- **Rationale:** The package automatically modifies the installed Claude Agent SDK CLI to disable a reminder, creating an install-time agent lifecycle risk. The narrow version and content checks reduce scope, so the evidence supports a warning rather than a publish block.

- **Files touched:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.mjs

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 86.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** package.json runs scripts/postinstall.mjs automatically after install., The postinstall locates the installed Claude Agent SDK CLI and applies a patch to its cli.js file., The patch is conditional on matching the expected source text, then writes the replacement and reports that the reminder was disabled., The reviewed .claude references are configuration and path setup in the named application files; they do not show a broader agent-control write.

- **Evidence against:** The patch is version-matched, checks the expected source text, and is idempotent., The examined target locations show .claude path/configuration references, not agent-control mutations.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to open-walnut@0.6.7.

- Review the evidence and your use of open-walnut@0.6.7 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.
