Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 12 finding(s) warrant review before installing. - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Product-default install policy:** Warn - **Firewall policy:** Telemetry warning (can be blocked) - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Telemetry - **Selected version:** 2.2.0 - **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 automatically contacts update hosts during most CLI invocations without documenting the check or providing a clear opt-out, so this is suspicious runtime telemetry. The observed request is limited to package version lookup; the scanner and triage findings are benign for the package’s stated purpose. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-30T03:07:14.902Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-30T03:08:17.781Z - **Download time:** 254 ms - **Static scan time:** 61 ms - **AI review time:** 62562 ms - **Total time:** 62879 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:** Undisclosed automatic version checks run during ordinary CLI use; no malicious data theft or execution behavior was identified. - **Trigger:** Invoking most CLI subcommands, then again when the 24-hour update cache expires. - **Impact:** The request reveals that a client is checking this package to the contacted service. It does not transmit credentials or project data; the automatic check lacks a disclosed opt-out. - **Evidence paths:** tools/cli.py, tools/update\_sentinel.py - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-30T03:08:17.781Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The CLI fetches the package’s latest version from the npm registry, with a GitHub raw package.json fallback, using a fixed package User-Agent. It caches the response outside the package. - **Rationale:** The package automatically contacts update hosts during most CLI invocations without documenting the check or providing a clear opt-out, so this is suspicious runtime telemetry. The observed request is limited to package version lookup; the scanner and triage findings are benign for the package’s stated purpose. - **Files touched:** tools/cli.py, tools/update\_sentinel.py, ~/.agent\_memory/update\_cache.json - **Network endpoints:** registry.npmjs.org, raw.githubusercontent.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The package’s main and executable entry points route to the launcher, which starts the Python CLI when invoked., On most CLI commands, the CLI calls the update checker by default; it skips only update, mcp-serve and version., The checker sends a fixed User-Agent request to the npm registry and falls back to the publisher’s GitHub raw package.json to fetch version metadata., The update checker stores its cache at ~/.agent\_memory/update\_cache.json., The flagged triage script reads local JUnit reports and lists local failure screenshots. - **Evidence against:** The manifest has no install lifecycle scripts; the network lookup occurs during CLI use., The update lookup requests package version metadata and does not read or send user credentials or project data., The flagged SkillSpector matches are scanner patterns and local file-reading logic, not credential transmission to GitHub. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to synapse-hub@2.2.0. - Review the evidence and your use of synapse-hub@2.2.0 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. ## Public findings ### 1.
