## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 14 low-signal pattern(s) reviewed.

- **Verdict:** Clean
- **Product-default install policy:** Allow
- **Firewall policy:** No policy match
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** None published
- **Selected version:** 0.43.4
- **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: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

The flagged environment and network behavior belongs to user-invoked local service checks, while CLI telemetry is disclosed, opt-out runtime analytics. I found no source evidence of credential exfiltration or unrelated execution.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0%

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:** No attack identified; the reviewed network and process behavior fits the CLI’s verification and disclosed telemetry functions.

- **Trigger:** CLI startup initializes disclosed, opt-out telemetry; smoke-test behavior runs when the user invokes the test command.

- **Impact:** No unauthorized credential transfer, hidden account action, or unrelated execution was identified.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-31T12:55:36.115Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Smoke-test requests target localhost and use DATABASE\_URL only to run the configured project service against its database. Telemetry goes to the package’s declared analytics and error-reporting services.

- **Rationale:** The flagged environment and network behavior belongs to user-invoked local service checks, while CLI telemetry is disclosed, opt-out runtime analytics. I found no source evidence of credential exfiltration or unrelated execution.

- **Network endpoints:** 127.0.0.1, us.i.posthog.com, o4509208616435714.ingest.us.sentry.io

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 94.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest points to the CLI entry points and declares runtime init/postrun hooks; its listed npm scripts contain no install lifecycle hook., The verifier sends smoke-test HTTP requests to an ephemeral server at 127.0.0.1., For Python/Go smoke tests, DATABASE\_URL configures the project service and database; the smoke test skips if no database answers., The CLI discloses its usage telemetry and provides configuration and environment-variable opt-outs., Telemetry uses the Apso PostHog and Sentry endpoints and reports CLI/runtime fields plus Apso account or workspace identifiers.

Package source references child process execution.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
L12: const tslib_1 = require("tslib");
L13: const child_process_1 = require("child_process");
L14: const inquirer_1 = tslib_1.__importDefault(require("inquirer"));
```

### 3. High: Shell
- **Category:** Source

- **Path:** dist/lib/verify/index.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@apso/cli@0.43.4/dist/lib/verify/index.js>)

A single source file combines environment access, network access, and code or shell execution; review context before blocking.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
L12: const fs = tslib_1.__importStar(require("fs"));
L13: const http = tslib_1.__importStar(require("http"));
L14: const net = tslib_1.__importStar(require("net"));
...
L27: return new Promise((resolve) => {
L28: const p = (0, child_process_1.spawn)(cmd, args, { cwd, env: { ...process.env, ...env } });
L29: let output = "";
```

### 8. Critical: Credential Exfiltration
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 90.0%
- **Path:** dist/lib/verify/index.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@apso/cli@0.43.4/dist/lib/verify/index.js>)

Source appears to send environment or credential material to an external endpoint.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
L10: const tslib_1 = require("tslib");
L11: const child_process_1 = require("child_process");

...
L27: return new Promise((resolve) => {
L28: const p = (0, child_process_1.spawn)(cmd, args, { cwd, env: { ...process.env, ...env } });
L29: let output = "";
L30: p.stdout.on("data", (d) => {
L31: output += d;
...
L230: });
L231: res.on("end", () => { var _a; return resolve({ status: (_a = res.statusCode) !== null && _a !== void 0 ? _a : 0, body: text }); });
```

kind = build_helper
sizeBytes = 30
magicHex = [redacted]
```

### 13. Medium: Structural Risk Force Deep Review
- **Category:** Artifact Inventory
- **Confidence:** 65.0%

Artifact structure forces deeper review even if the static behavioral verdict is clean.

### 14. Critical: Previous Version Dangerous Delta
- **Category:** Supply Chain
- **Confidence:** 93.0%
- **Path:** dist/commands/dev.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@apso/cli@0.43.4/dist/commands/dev.js>)

This package version adds a dangerous source file absent from the previous stored version; route for source-aware review.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
matchType = previous_version_dangerous_delta
matchedPackage = @apso/cli@0.28.0
matchedIdentity = npm:QGFwc28vY2xp:0.28.0
similarity = 0.688
summary = stored previous version shares package body but lacks this dangerous source file
