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:** 0.49.0 - **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 package does not execute its CLI during npm installation, so the evidence does not establish malicious install-hook abuse. Its bundled AI-agent instructions and automatic agent-mode mutations nevertheless create a concrete dangerous capability requiring a warning. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-13T23:42:10.311Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-13T23:43:09.823Z - **Download time:** 758 ms - **Static scan time:** 3525 ms - **AI review time:** 55228 ms - **Total time:** 59512 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:** An explicit postboi init --agent command can automatically provision a Postboi account, write a token, install an agent skill, and later synchronize provider credentials. There is no install-time execution path. - **Trigger:** A user or coding agent runs postboi init --agent, postboi skill, or a credential-sync command. - **Impact:** A coding agent can be induced to alter project configuration and place credentials with the package vendor without an interactive human confirmation. - **Evidence paths:** skills/postboi/SKILL.md, dist/cli.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-13T23:43:09.823Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Agent-directed project mutation and credential synchronization. - **Rationale:** The package does not execute its CLI during npm installation, so the evidence does not establish malicious install-hook abuse. Its bundled AI-agent instructions and automatic agent-mode mutations nevertheless create a concrete dangerous capability requiring a warning. - **Files touched:** .env, .gitignore, .claude/skills/postboi/SKILL.md, package.json - **Network endpoints:** postboi.app ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** The bundled agent skill tells coding agents to run an initialization command that can operate without a human., The agent mode accepts default confirmations, provisions a remote account, writes a token locally, and installs an agent skill., The CLI creates or replaces a project-local Claude skill, including a symlink that tracks the installed package., The CLI can upload collected non-Postboi provider credentials to the Postboi API. - **Evidence against:** The manifest has only a prepare hook for SvelteKit synchronization; it does not run the CLI on registry installation., The risky filesystem and network behavior is reached through explicit CLI commands, not import-time code., The Microsoft 365 code sends supplied credentials only to Microsoft OAuth and Graph endpoints for its stated mail-provider function. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to postboi@0.49.0. - Review the evidence and your use of postboi@0.49.0 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.
