## Verdict summary
**Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 20 finding(s) warrant review before installing.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Matched warn-list
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Destructive Action
- **Selected version:** 2026.10.12
- **Selected version is latest:** Yes
- **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 postinstall hook performs user-level deletion outside the package directory, which could disrupt a separate OpenClaw or Clawdbot installation. Its narrowly named targets suggest possible compatibility cleanup, so the residual destructive risk warrants a warning.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 85.0%
- **Started:** 2026-10-21T05:13:41.828Z

- **Total time:** 152506 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 npm postinstall hook removes legacy plugin dependency directories from user state roots and unlinks some symlinks pointing into them.

- **Trigger:** Installing the package runs its postinstall hook.

- **Impact:** This may break plugins in a separate OpenClaw or Clawdbot installation. The narrow target could serve compatibility cleanup, but the code does not establish which installation owns the data.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall-bundled-plugins.mjs

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-21T05:16:14.334Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The script gathers default OpenClaw and Clawdbot state roots and configured roots, then recursively deletes existing plugin-runtime-deps directories.

- **Rationale:** The postinstall hook performs user-level deletion outside the package directory, which could disrupt a separate OpenClaw or Clawdbot installation. Its narrowly named targets suggest possible compatibility cleanup, so the residual destructive risk warrants a warning.

- **Files touched:** package.json, scripts/postinstall-bundled-plugins.mjs

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 85.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** The package manifest runs the cleanup script from its postinstall hook., The cleanup builds targets under OpenClaw and Clawdbot state roots, appending the legacy plugin dependency directory; it also accepts configured state roots., The script recursively removes each existing target and unlinks qualifying symlinks., The flagged audit code reads and lists installed extension directories., The flagged CLI code creates starter wiki files through the explicit wiki-init command.

## Affected versions and remediation
