## 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:** 0.2.275
- **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.

This is a concrete remote installation capability with a domain restriction, but the inspected source does not establish malicious payload behavior. Classify it as suspicious and warn rather than block.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0%
- **Started:** 2026-10-15T23:43:55.189Z
- **Finished:** 2026-10-15T23:45:50.582Z
- **Download time:** 772 ms
- **Static scan time:** 1241 ms
- **AI review time:** 113379 ms
- **Total time:** 115393 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 remote installer fast path can run code downloaded from an allowlisted sudosudo.dev host. The package source does not establish what changes the downloaded script makes.

- **Trigger:** An Orquesta execute payload supplies a prompt with the installer marker, unless the request is read-only.

- **Impact:** The script can make changes with the agent process's privileges; its effects are not present in this package snapshot.

- **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js, dist/executor.js, dist/sudosudo.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-15T23:45:50.582Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The agent validates the URL, then fetches the script and pipes it to a shell.

- **Rationale:** This is a concrete remote installation capability with a domain restriction, but the inspected source does not establish malicious payload behavior. Classify it as suspicious and warn rather than block.

- **Network endpoints:** https://\*.sudosudo.dev

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 90.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** The agent forwards server execute payloads to prompt execution., A non-read-only prompt containing the installer marker enters a fast path that parses an installer URL and calls the installer., The installer restricts URLs to HTTPS on sudosudo.dev or its subdomains., The allowed URL is fetched and piped to a shell; this source does not show a separate local confirmation.

- **Evidence against:** The installer URL is restricted to an allowlisted domain; the inspected source does not establish malicious installer content.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to orquesta-agent@0.2.275.

- Review the evidence and your use of orquesta-agent@0.2.275 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.
