## Verdict summary
**Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 14 finding(s) warrant review before installing.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Matched warn-list
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Credential Exfiltration
- **Selected version:** 0.5.2
- **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 flagged command execution is explicitly guarded Google authentication functionality, but the active Contacts HTTP client introduces a concrete TLS vulnerability. Warn for conditional credential exposure without attributing malware intent.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 97.0%
- **Started:** 2026-10-06T09:43:16.798Z
- **Finished:** 2026-10-06T09:44:20.743Z
- **Download time:** 1537 ms
- **Static scan time:** 1510 ms
- **AI review time:** 60898 ms
- **Total time:** 63945 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:** A reachable Contacts request disables TLS certificate verification for the entire process. This establishes a security vulnerability, but no confirmed malicious attack was identified.

- **Trigger:** Running a Contacts action that uses the shared HTTP client.

- **Impact:** An attacker positioned to intercept affected TLS connections could expose access tokens and contact data; other TLS connections in the process may also be affected.

- **Evidence paths:** src/index.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-06T09:44:20.743Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The request method sets NODE\_TLS\_REJECT\_UNAUTHORIZED to 0 before sending authenticated requests and does not restore it.

- **Rationale:** The flagged command execution is explicitly guarded Google authentication functionality, but the active Contacts HTTP client introduces a concrete TLS vulnerability. Warn for conditional credential exposure without attributing malware intent.

- **Network endpoints:** https://people.googleapis.com/v1/people

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 97.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Critical Vulnerability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for warning:** The manifest selects src/index.js and contains no lifecycle scripts or runtime dependencies., The HTTP client's request method disables TLS certificate verification process-wide., The Create Contact action forwards the connected account's access token through the shared HTTP client., The authenticated request helper uses the client instance that contains the TLS override., Google authentication command execution requires an explicit environment opt-in.

- **Evidence against:** No concrete malicious execution or unrelated credential recipient was identified., Contacts requests target Google's People API; the command execution signal comes from guarded Google authentication code.

## Affected versions and remediation
