## 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:** 0.2.20
- **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 install hook itself only displays a hint, while explicit OMP setup can register a first-party autostart extension in OMP's agent configuration. This is a guarded extension lifecycle risk, with no inspected evidence of credential exfiltration or unconsented install-time control-surface mutation.

## Latest scan

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 OMP adapter can add a package-owned autostart extension to the user's OMP configuration during setup. This is a guarded, first-party integration lifecycle risk; no confirmed attack surface was established.

- **Trigger:** The user runs the package's setup command and the OMP adapter is selected.

- **Impact:** OMP may automatically start or health-check the local ZCode proxy for this integration.

- **Evidence paths:** cli/adapters/omp.mjs, proxy/zcode-proxy-autostart.ts

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-09T06:28:50.397Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The adapter edits OMP configuration and manages the zcode-proxy-autostart.ts extension in the OMP agent directory.

- **Rationale:** The install hook itself only displays a hint, while explicit OMP setup can register a first-party autostart extension in OMP's agent configuration. This is a guarded extension lifecycle risk, with no inspected evidence of credential exfiltration or unconsented install-time control-surface mutation.

- **Files touched:** ~/.omp/agent/config.yml, ~/.omp/agent/extensions/zcode-proxy-autostart.ts

- **Network endpoints:** 127.0.0.1

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 88.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** The postinstall hook only prints a setup hint; it does not run the integration., The Aider adapter writes a process-local environment file for its launcher., The OMP adapter targets the user's OMP agent directory and conditionally adds its own autostart extension during setup.

- **Evidence against:** No inspected source showed install-time mutation of another agent's configuration or credential exfiltration., The OMP integration is activated through the explicit setup command and skips when its models configuration is absent.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to zcode-agent-kit@0.2.20.

- Review the evidence and your use of zcode-agent-kit@0.2.20 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.
