Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## 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:** 0.2.32 - **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 postinstall hook only prints a setup hint, and the Codex adapter uses an isolated generated home. The explicit OMP setup installs a package-owned extension that runs before ZCode requests, warranting a warning for agent extension lifecycle risk. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 86.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-09T06:29:45.415Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-09T06:30:16.364Z - **Download time:** 753 ms - **Static scan time:** 1517 ms - **AI review time:** 28678 ms - **Total time:** 30949 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:** Setup can register a package-owned OMP extension that starts or checks the local proxy before ZCode requests. - **Trigger:** The user runs setup and later makes a request through the zcode provider. - **Impact:** This adds package-controlled startup behavior to OMP; the inspected code establishes no confirmed attack. - **Evidence paths:** cli/adapters/omp.mjs, proxy/zcode-proxy-autostart.ts - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-09T06:30:16.364Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The extension checks the local health endpoint and can run the kit's preflight process. - **Rationale:** The postinstall hook only prints a setup hint, and the Codex adapter uses an isolated generated home. The explicit OMP setup installs a package-owned extension that runs before ZCode requests, warranting a warning for agent extension lifecycle risk. - **Files touched:** cli/adapters/omp.mjs, proxy/zcode-proxy-autostart.ts - **Network endpoints:** http://127.0.0.1 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The postinstall hook delegates to a mode that prints a setup hint; it does not run setup., The Codex adapter writes configuration under the kit's generated directory., The OMP adapter registers and copies a package-owned startup extension into the OMP extensions directory during setup., The extension checks the local proxy before ZCode provider requests and runs preflight when needed. - **Evidence against:** The package lifecycle hook does not automatically mutate agent configuration., The OMP extension runs only before requests using the zcode provider. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to zcode-agent-kit@0.2.32. - Review the evidence and your use of zcode-agent-kit@0.2.32 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.
