## 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:** 0.12.1
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

LPM treats this as warn-only first-party agent extension lifecycle risk. Installation automatically provisions this package's Claude Code skills and project files. It also invokes pip for its declared document-ingestion dependencies and checks the package's npm version.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Installation automatically provisions this package's Claude Code skills and project files. It also invokes pip for its declared document-ingestion dependencies and checks the package's npm version.

- **Trigger:** npm install process-ai@0.12.1 executes postinstall.

- **Impact:** Adds package-owned agent instructions to the target project and may install Python dependencies; no confirmed exfiltration or foreign/broad agent-control takeover.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/postinstall.js, dist/toolkit/src/installer/orchestrator.js, dist/toolkit/adapters/claude-code/skill-copy.js, dist/toolkit/src/installer/python-deps.js, dist/toolkit/src/installer/update-check.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-12T00:41:13.476Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** First-party Claude Code skill setup plus dependency bootstrap.

- **Rationale:** This is a real install-time, first-party agent-extension lifecycle risk and warrants a warning. The inspected source scopes writes to package-owned paths and shows no concrete malicious chain, so blocking is not justified.

- **Files touched:** .claude/skills/process-ai\*/SKILL.md, .process-ai/config, .process-ai/config.user, .process-ai/install-manifest.toml, method-packs/, scripts/requirements-ingest.txt

- **Network endpoints:** https://registry.npmjs.org/process-ai/latest

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 90.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** npm postinstall invokes the package CLI against the consumer project., The install path copies process-ai skills into the Claude Code project control surface., Install automatically runs pip install for bundled ingestion requirements., CLI performs a fail-soft version request to the npm registry.

- **Evidence against:** Writes are scoped to process-ai-owned skills/config/method packs, with symlink checks., Network code targets only process-ai's npm registry metadata; no credential harvesting or arbitrary exfiltration found., Dynamic imports load package-local renderer/generator paths; no remote payload loader found., Bundled vendor similarity hints are not evidence of malicious package behavior.
