Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## 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:** 0.2.261 - **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 source shows a real dashboard-controlled agent-extension and allowlisted remote-installer capability, so a warning is appropriate. The inspected lifecycle hooks are cosmetic and the explicit init path is user-invoked, so there is no evidence for a publish block. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 89.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-29T17:38:32.151Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-29T17:39:58.561Z - **Download time:** 518 ms - **Static scan time:** 1197 ms - **AI review time:** 84694 ms - **Total time:** 86410 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:** A running, token-authenticated agent automatically imports dashboard-provided skills into a project's Claude control surface. It also includes a remote installer execution path restricted to sudosudo domains. - **Trigger:** Starting the agent with a token, or receiving a qualifying installer dispatch through the agent. - **Impact:** A configured dashboard can update project Claude skill content and can cause installation of code served by the allowlisted installer domain. No unconsented npm-install-time control-surface mutation was identified. - **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js, dist/supabase.js, dist/sudosudo.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-29T17:39:58.561Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The agent fetches skills and writes them under the working directory; the installer path pipes an allowlisted HTTPS response to a shell. - **Rationale:** The source shows a real dashboard-controlled agent-extension and allowlisted remote-installer capability, so a warning is appropriate. The inspected lifecycle hooks are cosmetic and the explicit init path is user-invoked, so there is no evidence for a publish block. - **Files touched:** .claude/skills, CLAUDE.md, .claude/CLAUDE.md, .claude/settings.json - **Network endpoints:** https://getorquesta.com, https://sudosudo.dev ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 89.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** The package declares npm preinstall and postinstall hooks., A connected agent fetches project skills using its agent token and syncs them into the working directory., Skill synchronisation creates the Claude skills directory and writes server-provided files., The package can download and execute an installer shell script from an allowlisted sudosudo domain. - **Evidence against:** The npm lifecycle scripts inspected only display version and welcome messages., Hook configuration is exposed through an explicit init command requiring an Orquesta token., The installer URL is restricted to HTTPS sudosudo domains. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to orquesta-agent@0.2.261. - Review the evidence and your use of orquesta-agent@0.2.261 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.
