## 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:** 4.0.8
- **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. No unconsented install-time agent-control mutation was found. Explicit setup can add package-owned Claude Code or Codex lifecycle hooks.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** No unconsented install-time agent-control mutation was found. Explicit setup can add package-owned Claude Code or Codex lifecycle hooks.

- **Trigger:** User confirms interactive setup or runs an explicit hook-install command.

- **Impact:** Configured hooks can process agent-session events and invoke the SLM CLI.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, src/superlocalmemory/cli/setup\_wizard.py, src/superlocalmemory/hooks/claude\_code\_hooks.py, src/superlocalmemory/hooks/codex\_hooks.py

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-17T21:20:08.411Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Consent-gated merge of SLM-owned agent lifecycle hooks.

- **Rationale:** Source inspection found consent-gated, package-aligned agent integration rather than malicious install-time behavior. Warn for the real agent-extension lifecycle capability.

- **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall.js, .slm-venv, src/superlocalmemory/cli/setup\_wizard.py, src/superlocalmemory/hooks/claude\_code\_hooks.py, src/superlocalmemory/hooks/codex\_hooks.py, .claude/settings.json, .codex/hooks.json

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 92.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for:** Explicit setup offers Claude Code plugin and hook installation., Claude hook installer modifies the user's Claude settings with SLM hook entries., Explicit Codex hook installation writes SLM lifecycle hooks.

- **Evidence against:** npm postinstall only creates a package-owned virtual environment and installs this package into it., No npm lifecycle code invokes IDE, agent-hook, credential, or data-exfiltration logic., External integrations are consent-gated during interactive setup.
