## Verdict summary
**Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 18 finding(s) warrant review before installing.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Matched warn-list
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Data Exfiltration
- **Selected version:** 0.9.227
- **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 hook or covert payload was found, but the default network exposure and conditionally unauthenticated archive export are a concrete data-exposure vulnerability. The module-load Claude settings change is an additional agent-control-surface concern.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0%
- **Started:** 2026-09-27T01:30:03.478Z
- **Finished:** 2026-09-27T01:30:48.638Z
- **Download time:** 257 ms
- **Static scan time:** 773 ms
- **AI review time:** 44130 ms
- **Total time:** 45160 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 user-launched agent exposes a session-export API. The default listener is reachable on all network interfaces, and export authentication is absent unless the user sets an optional token.

- **Trigger:** Running the osborn CLI starts the API server.

- **Impact:** A network-reachable party could retrieve sensitive Claude session material and skills from an unprotected running instance.

- **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js, dist/claude-llm.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-27T01:30:48.638Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The server uses a wildcard CORS policy, binds to 0.0.0.0 by default, and streams an archive of Claude project and skill data when the optional sync token is unset.

- **Rationale:** No malicious install hook or covert payload was found, but the default network exposure and conditionally unauthenticated archive export are a concrete data-exposure vulnerability. The module-load Claude settings change is an additional agent-control-surface concern.

- **Files touched:** dist/index.js, dist/claude-llm.js

- **Network endpoints:** 0.0.0.0:8741

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 94.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Critical Vulnerability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for warning:** The CLI launches the compiled agent only when the user runs its command., The agent starts an HTTP API on port 8741 during normal startup., The API listens on all interfaces by default and permits any web origin., Its session export endpoint archives Claude projects and skills, while authentication is enforced only if an optional environment token exists., The agent also changes Claude settings at module load.

- **Evidence against:** No npm install, preinstall, or postinstall hook is declared., No hidden outbound secret-transfer sink was identified in the inspected authentication module.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to osborn@0.9.227.

- Review the evidence and your use of osborn@0.9.227 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report.
