## 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:** 4.6.2
- **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 a default-on local dashboard that forwards session content and can submit browser prompts, so a warning is appropriate. The inspected behavior is local and package-aligned, with no evidence of an external attack chain or install-time mutation.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** The default-enabled pidash extension exposes the active session to its local dashboard and accepts browser prompts for that session.

- **Trigger:** Starting a pi session while pidash is enabled, which is the default.

- **Impact:** A local dashboard user can view forwarded session content and submit prompts to the active agent; no publisher-directed transfer was identified.

- **Evidence paths:** extensions/pidash/pidash.ts, scripts/daemon-shared.ts, settings-keys.json

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-20T10:21:58.729Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The extension starts a missing daemon, sends session history over a loopback WebSocket, and passes browser prompts to pi as follow-up messages.

- **Rationale:** The source establishes a default-on local dashboard that forwards session content and can submit browser prompts, so a warning is appropriate. The inspected behavior is local and package-aligned, with no evidence of an external attack chain or install-time mutation.

- **Files touched:** extensions/pidash/pidash.ts, scripts/daemon-shared.ts, scripts/serve-ui.ts

- **Network endpoints:** ws://127.0.0.1:${pidashPort}/ws/pi, http://localhost:${pidashPort}

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 86.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** The manifest lists build and prepack scripts and registers the package extension tree., The pidash dashboard is enabled by default; its registration returns early when disabled., A session start connects pidash and starts a missing daemon, using a loopback WebSocket., Pidash forwards saved user messages and accepts browser prompts as follow-up messages in the active session., The UI build command runs only when the UI files are missing.

- **Evidence against:** The inspected dashboard connection is local; no publisher-controlled recipient, credential collection, destructive behavior, or install-time settings mutation was identified.
