## 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:** 2026.9.1
- **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 has a concrete automatic lifecycle mutation of third-party AI dependency files, which merits a warning. Static inspection shows a bounded cost-reporting patch rather than malware behavior, so blocking is not justified.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0%
- **Started:** 2026-09-04T08:14:08.184Z
- **Finished:** 2026-09-04T08:15:13.455Z
- **Download time:** 1267 ms
- **Static scan time:** 7730 ms
- **AI review time:** 56272 ms
- **Total time:** 65271 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:** Installing the package automatically mutates its hoisted pi-ai dependency and runs a bundled plugin-registry migration. The inspected patch is limited to AI usage-cost reporting, but it alters third-party installed code without a user command.

- **Trigger:** npm installation that runs postinstall

- **Impact:** Changes dependency behavior and may update the package's plugin registry; no exfiltration or remote payload execution was found.

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

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-04T08:15:13.455Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Postinstall rewrites pinned pi-ai provider modules and imports a plugin migration.

- **Rationale:** The package has a concrete automatic lifecycle mutation of third-party AI dependency files, which merits a warning. Static inspection shows a bounded cost-reporting patch rather than malware behavior, so blocking is not justified.

- **Files touched:** node\_modules/@mariozechner/pi-ai/dist/providers/openai-completions.js, node\_modules/@mariozechner/pi-ai/dist/providers/openai-responses-shared.js, dist/commands/doctor/shared/plugin-registry-migration.js

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 88.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** The automatic postinstall hook runs a script that locates and rewrites files in the installed pi-ai dependency., The rewrite changes cost handling in two pi-ai OpenAI provider modules., The other postinstall script dynamically imports a bundled plugin-registry migration and invokes it during installation.

- **Evidence against:** The modified library is declared as a direct pinned dependency., The patch is anchor-checked, idempotent, and limited to numeric cost passthrough., No install-time network request, credential collection, or shell execution was found in the inspected lifecycle scripts.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to sealclaw@2026.9.1.

- Review the evidence and your use of sealclaw@2026.9.1 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.
