Treat them as untrusted evidence. 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:** Matched warn-list - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Destructive Action - **Selected version:** 0.0.0-aj-beta.238 - **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 scanner's malicious label is not supported by a concrete malicious chain in the inspected source. Automatic destructive changes outside the package nevertheless warrant a warning. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-01T22:28:53.610Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-01T22:30:00.909Z - **Download time:** 754 ms - **Static scan time:** 1017 ms - **AI review time:** 65527 ms - **Total time:** 67299 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:** Automatic installation can delete and replace files outside the package directory. This is a concrete destructive installer capability, but inspected source does not establish a malicious attack. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall, after launcher creation completes. - **Impact:** Existing consumer project directories and files can be lost or overwritten when the assumed installation layout differs from the actual layout. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, npm-post-install.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-01T22:30:00.909Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Relative ancestor paths select directories for recursive forced deletion and replacement with bundled application files. - **Rationale:** The scanner's malicious label is not supported by a concrete malicious chain in the inspected source. Automatic destructive changes outside the package nevertheless warrant a warning. - **Files touched:** build, dist, temp, .vscode, project, workspace, settings.json, main.js, repos.json ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** package.json automatically loads npm-post-install.js after installation and has no runtime dependencies., The installer targets a directory three levels above its working directory., The installer recursively deletes build, dist and temp directories., The active installation sequence deletes and replaces project, workspace, .vscode and other application files., The installer also invokes npm to install @aj-shadow/z-build-project. - **Evidence against:** The installer transparently creates ActorJs launchers and shell aliases; no obfuscation or runtime self-dependency was found., The flagged plugins implement requested Git configuration checks and test-suite execution; inspected code does not establish credential exfiltration. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @aj-shadow/actorjs-app@0.0.0-aj-beta.238. - Review the evidence and your use of @aj-shadow/actorjs-app@0.0.0-aj-beta.238 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.
