## 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:** 0.30.0
- **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 scanner’s credential and child-process indicators map to disclosed, user-invoked CLI functionality, not an install-time malicious chain. Warn because the package has real credential-sync and agent-extension capabilities.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 93.0%
- **Started:** 2026-08-15T16:45:30.617Z

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:** No unconsented install-time attack is established. Explicit CLI commands can synchronize provider credentials to Postboi and can install a package-owned Claude skill after confirmation.

- **Trigger:** User runs \`postboi init\`, \`postboi env push\`, or related CLI setup.

- **Impact:** Provider credentials may be sent to the authenticated Postboi account; an opted-in project skill may be written.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/cli.js, skills/postboi/SKILL.md

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-15T16:46:59.318Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** User-invoked credential synchronization and first-party agent-skill setup.

- **Rationale:** The scanner’s credential and child-process indicators map to disclosed, user-invoked CLI functionality, not an install-time malicious chain. Warn because the package has real credential-sync and agent-extension capabilities.

- **Files touched:** .claude/skills/postboi/SKILL.md

- **Network endpoints:** https://postboi.app/v1/env

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 93.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for warning:** CLI can upload provider credential values to the Postboi API., \`env push\` reads recognized project env credentials and sends them., CLI can create a first-party Claude skill after an interactive confirmation.

- **Evidence against:** No preinstall/install/postinstall hook; prepare only runs SvelteKit sync., Credential transfer is tied to explicit CLI setup or \`env push\`, with authenticated Postboi API requests., The agent-skill path is package-owned and installation is confirmed by the user.

## Affected versions and remediation
