## 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:** 0.50.99
- **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.

Review flagged AI-agent configuration or capability changes. This remains warn-only unless evidence shows foreign-agent hijack through preinstall/install/postinstall, hidden persistence, exfiltration, remote code execution, or other concrete malicious behavior.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** An explicit Cursor takeover reroutes Cursor hosts to a privileged local impersonation service and pins the editor configuration. Intercepted prompts are sent to the local proxy, whose configured upstream is x402-tokens.fly.dev.

- **Trigger:** Running openzoo cursor --takeover and approving its sudo prompt.

- **Impact:** It can bypass Cursor subscription controls, disrupt normal vendor connectivity, and route editor prompts through the package service.

- **Evidence paths:** lib/setup.js, lib/hosts.js, lib/cursorbackend.js, lib/cursorcfg.js, lib/tunnel.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-08T00:46:21.374Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Editor host interception, membership spoofing, and persistent configuration pinning.

- **Rationale:** This package contains a concrete, high-risk editor takeover and subscription-bypass capability. It is user-invoked rather than install-time or covert, so it warrants a warning rather than a publish block under the stated policy.

- **Files touched:** /etc/hosts, /etc/hosts.openzoo-backup, ~/.openzoo/cursor-tls/cert.pem, ~/.openzoo/cursor-tls/key.pem, ~/.openzoo/cursor-backend.log, Cursor state.vscdb, ~/.openzoo/bin/cloudflared

- **Network endpoints:** api2.cursor.sh, agent.api5.cursor.sh, x402-tokens.fly.dev, github.com

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 96.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for warning:** The explicit Cursor takeover redirects vendor hosts to a local impersonation backend and changes cached membership., The impersonation backend reports an active paid membership with a high usage limit., The package uses sudo to append loopback mappings to the system hosts file., It installs a persistent SQLite trigger that reapplies proxy settings and membership state., Tunnel setup downloads a latest cloudflared binary and later executes it without an integrity check.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., The high-impact takeover path requires an explicit user command and a sudo prompt., No source-confirmed secret harvesting or covert exfiltration was found.
