Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 17 finding(s) warrant review before installing. - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Product-default install policy:** Warn - **Firewall policy:** Matched warn-list - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Remote Code Execution - **Selected version:** 0.9.163 - **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. No malicious install-time chain or undisclosed credential harvesting was confirmed. However, user-invoked deletion of a Claude directory and runtime remote shell installation create concrete dangerous capability that warrants a warning. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 89.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-01T13:37:31.121Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-01T13:38:28.649Z - **Download time:** 503 ms - **Static scan time:** 1075 ms - **AI review time:** 55949 ms - **Total time:** 57528 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:** At runtime, this voice coding agent can replace a Claude configuration directory, install a remote IDE through a shell pipeline, and upload requested artifacts. These actions do not run during npm installation. - **Trigger:** The user runs the osborn CLI; the remote installer additionally requires a start-IDE request. - **Impact:** It can alter the local Claude configuration location, execute code obtained from code-server.dev, and send selected local files to a configured frontend. - **Evidence paths:** bin/cli.js, dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-01T13:38:28.649Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Runtime filesystem mutation, shell-based remote installer execution, and configured artifact upload. - **Rationale:** No malicious install-time chain or undisclosed credential harvesting was confirmed. However, user-invoked deletion of a Claude directory and runtime remote shell installation create concrete dangerous capability that warrants a warning. - **Files touched:** bin/cli.js, dist/index.js, ~/.claude, /workspace/.claude - **Network endpoints:** https://code-server.dev/install.sh, ${FRONTEND\_URL}/api/upload ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 89.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** Running the CLI removes the user's .claude directory and replaces it with a workspace symlink when that workspace path exists., The running agent can download and execute the code-server installer through a shell pipeline after a start-IDE request., The agent can upload selected local artifacts to a frontend URL supplied through environment configuration. - **Evidence against:** The manifest has only a prepublish-only script, so installation does not run package code., The download-and-execute path is reached only at runtime through the IDE feature, not during installation., The OpenAI and Recall requests use configured service credentials for the stated voice and meeting features. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to osborn@0.9.163. - Review the evidence and your use of osborn@0.9.163 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.
