## Verdict summary
**Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 21 finding(s) warrant review before installing.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Matched warn-list
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Install Hook Abuse
- **Selected version:** 2026.8.20
- **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 automatic postinstall rewrite of a foreign dependency is an unresolved install-time mutation, so I classify this as suspicious. Inspected code limits the patch to provider cost reporting and does not establish a concrete attack.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 84.0%

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 conditionally rewrites two provider files in the installed @mariozechner/pi-ai dependency to pass through upstream cost values.

- **Trigger:** Installing the package with npm or another package manager that runs its postinstall hook.

- **Impact:** This changes behavior of a foreign dependency without an explicit command; inspected code limits the change to usage-cost reporting and shows no payload execution or data transfer.

- **Evidence paths:** scripts/postinstall-patch-pi-ai.mjs

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-08T15:57:18.349Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The script searches ancestor node\_modules directories, matches known source anchors, and writes modified provider source files.

- **Rationale:** The automatic postinstall rewrite of a foreign dependency is an unresolved install-time mutation, so I classify this as suspicious. Inspected code limits the patch to provider cost reporting and does not establish a concrete attack.

- **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall-patch-pi-ai.mjs

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 84.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** The package runs a postinstall script that locates and rewrites files in the installed @mariozechner/pi-ai dependency., The rewrite is narrowly anchored to provider usage-cost handling and changes the reported total cost., The preinstall hook only detects the package manager and prints a warning., The flagged audit and CLI locations enumerate installed plugins and initialize a memory wiki when invoked; they do not show install-time agent control changes., The bidi control appears in a bundled asset's embedded font data; the inspected excerpt does not show executable behavior tied to it.

- **Evidence against:** The postinstall patch modifies a foreign dependency automatically during installation, without an explicit user command.

## Affected versions and remediation

- Review the evidence and your use of sealclaw@2026.8.20 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report.
