An AI agent can be pressured to present package-generated secret-scanning verdicts as authoritative rather than independently evaluating them. - **Verdict:** AI-agent control-surface policy finding - **Product-default install policy:** Warn by default; block when configured - **Firewall policy:** Warn by default - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Soft block: AI-agent control surface - **Selected version:** 0.2.1 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) This finding concerns changes to an AI agent's instructions or configuration without explicit user action. It does not by itself establish malware intent. The CLI warns by default and blocks when configured for this policy. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. The package exposes an MCP server that supplies controlling instructions to connected AI agents. Its extension is also configured for automatic VS Code activation. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-13T13:44:26.203Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-13T13:45:47.657Z - **Download time:** 511 ms - **Static scan time:** 2309 ms - **AI review time:** 78632 ms - **Total time:** 81454 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 package exposes an MCP server that supplies controlling instructions to connected AI agents. Its extension is also configured for automatic VS Code activation. - **Trigger:** Starting the MCP executable or opening VS Code with the extension installed. - **Impact:** An AI agent can be pressured to present package-generated secret-scanning verdicts as authoritative rather than independently evaluating them. - **Evidence paths:** out/mcp.js, package.json - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-13T13:45:47.657Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** AI-agent output steering through MCP tool and server instructions. - **Attack narrative:** When an AI client starts the package's MCP server, the server exposes tool descriptions and instructions that direct the client not to reclassify, downgrade, suppress, or omit its verdicts. That is a package-supplied attempt to control the AI consumer's judgment. The extension also declares automatic startup activation, making the package available without an explicit scan command. - **Rationale:** The source contains a concrete AI-agent control message that attempts to override independent judgment. Although there is no npm install hook and verification is opt-in, this package-supplied steering is malicious intent under the review policy. - **Files touched:** out/mcp.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** The MCP executable embeds instructions telling assistants to treat its findings as final and not reclassify or downgrade them., This is an AI-agent control message supplied by the package, rather than a technical result that an agent can independently verify., The VS Code extension is configured to activate automatically after startup. - **Evidence against:** No npm preinstall, install, or postinstall hook is declared., Credential verification is disabled by default in the manifest and described as requiring user consent. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to secretloop@0.2.1. - Avoid installing secretloop@0.2.1. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. - If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment. ## Public findings ### 1.
