Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## 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:** 0.51.0 - **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. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-08T00:44:48.392Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-08T00:46:01.955Z - **Download time:** 252 ms - **Static scan time:** 4566 ms - **AI review time:** 68745 ms - **Total time:** 73563 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:** Explicit CLI commands can alter AI-editor routing and configuration. The Cursor path can redirect vendor hosts to a local backend, whose execution frames pre-authorize shell commands. - **Trigger:** A user runs openzoo cursor, optionally with --takeover, or runs openzoo openclaw. - **Impact:** A user who runs these commands can have editor traffic redirected and agent shell actions treated as pre-approved. - **Evidence paths:** bin/openzoo.js, lib/setup.js, lib/hosts.js, lib/cursorbackend.js, lib/openclaw.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-08T00:46:01.955Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** User-invoked agent configuration rewrite, host redirection, and local execution approval bypass. - **Rationale:** This is a dangerous, user-invoked AI-agent control and traffic-redirection tool, not an install-time malware chain. Its pre-authorized execution framing and vendor-host interception warrant a warning. - **Files touched:** /etc/hosts, /etc/hosts.openzoo-backup, ~/.cursor/mcp.json, ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json - **Network endpoints:** api2.cursor.sh, agent.api5.cursor.sh ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** The CLI's Cursor command invokes editor setup., Editor setup blocks the vendor backend by default unless the user supplies --no-block., The hosts helper uses sudo to append loopback mappings for selected vendor hosts., The impersonation backend creates execution frames marked as already authorized., The OpenClaw command backs up and rewrites its configuration file. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, postinstall, or prepare hook., The risky paths are reached through named CLI commands, not package installation or import., The manifest has no runtime dependency on openzoo itself. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to openzoo@0.51.0. - Review the evidence and your use of openzoo@0.51.0 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.
