## Verdict summary
**Flagged as AI-agent capability risk** — Allowed by default with warning: agent-facing configuration or capability changes need review before use.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Warn-only AI-agent capability risk
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** AI-agent capability abuse
- **Selected version:** 4.1.0
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

Review flagged AI-agent configuration or capability changes. This remains warn-only unless evidence shows foreign-agent hijack through preinstall/install/postinstall, hidden persistence, exfiltration, remote code execution, or other concrete malicious behavior.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Explicit CLI integration can add SLM MCP configuration and lifecycle hooks to AI-agent control surfaces. The npm lifecycle itself only builds a private runtime.

- **Trigger:** User runs \`slm hooks install --agent codex\` or an explicit IDE connection/setup command.

- **Impact:** Later agent sessions can invoke the package's local memory tooling.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, src/superlocalmemory/hooks/codex\_hooks.py, src/superlocalmemory/hooks/portable\_kit.py, src/superlocalmemory/cli/commands.py

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-23T09:19:44.532Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** additive agent configuration and hook registration

- **Rationale:** The package warrants a warning for explicit AI-agent configuration and hook installation, not a block. Its postinstall source confines mutation to the package-owned Python virtual environment.

- **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall.js, src/superlocalmemory/hooks/codex\_hooks.py, src/superlocalmemory/hooks/portable\_kit.py, src/superlocalmemory/cli/commands.py

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 89.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** Explicit \`slm hooks install --agent codex\` adds lifecycle hooks to ~/.codex/hooks.json., Explicit IDE connection configures Codex MCP command \`slm mcp\` in ~/.codex/config.toml., Agent instruction files may be appended only for project-scoped connections.

- **Evidence against:** npm postinstall creates only package-owned .slm-venv and does not invoke IDE integration., No lifecycle source writes foreign AI-agent configuration., No credential harvesting, covert exfiltration, or remote payload execution found in inspected paths.
