Treat them as untrusted evidence. 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:** 0.9.242 - **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 establishes runtime and command-triggered mutation of Claude's shared configuration surface. It does not establish malicious installation behavior, secret theft, or a remote payload. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 86.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-28T09:00:30.541Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-28T09:04:38.675Z - **Download time:** 513 ms - **Static scan time:** 744 ms - **AI review time:** 246876 ms - **Total time:** 248134 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:** The package can modify a user's Claude configuration and skills after its command or runtime is activated. No automatic install-time attack was identified. - **Trigger:** A user runs an Osborn command or starts the package runtime; a connected frontend can send a skill-add message. - **Impact:** These actions can alter the local AI-agent control surface and make workspace-provided skills or settings active. - **Evidence paths:** dist/claude-llm.js, dist/index.js, bin/recall.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-28T09:04:38.675Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The runtime writes Claude settings, accepts skill content for a Claude skill file, and the recall command may create a Claude-directory symlink. - **Rationale:** The source establishes runtime and command-triggered mutation of Claude's shared configuration surface. It does not establish malicious installation behavior, secret theft, or a remote payload. - **Files touched:** ~/.claude/settings.json, ~/.claude/skills/\/SKILL.md, ~/.claude ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The package exposes command-line entrypoints rather than an install lifecycle hook., Running the LLM module changes shared Claude settings at module load., A frontend skill-add message writes caller-provided content into the user's Claude skills directory., The recall command can replace the user's Claude directory path with a workspace symlink. - **Evidence against:** No package-install trigger, credential export sink, or unrelated network recipient was established in the inspected paths. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to osborn@0.9.242. - Review the evidence and your use of osborn@0.9.242 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.
