## Verdict summary
**Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 13 finding(s) warrant review before installing.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Matched warn-list
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Install Hook Abuse
- **Selected version:** 3.0.1
- **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 automatic postinstall dependency installation creates a concrete but package-scoped install-time risk because dependency lifecycle code may run. No source evidence inspected establishes a malicious chain, so this is suspicious rather than malicious.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 84.0%

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:** The automatic postinstall hook installs dependencies for three bundled studio applications. That can execute dependency lifecycle scripts during installation, but inspected source does not establish a malicious payload or data theft.

- **Trigger:** Installing the package with lifecycle scripts enabled.

- **Impact:** Dependency code may run during installation and network access may occur while resolving dependencies; no specific harmful action was established.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, db-studio/package.json

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-07T06:29:19.231Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The hook invokes npm install --production in bundled studio directories that contain dependency manifests.

- **Rationale:** The automatic postinstall dependency installation creates a concrete but package-scoped install-time risk because dependency lifecycle code may run. No source evidence inspected establishes a malicious chain, so this is suspicious rather than malicious.

- **Files touched:** devops-studio, db-studio, server-studio

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 84.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** package.json runs scripts/postinstall.js automatically after installation., The postinstall hook runs npm install --production in each bundled studio directory, triggering dependency resolution during package installation., The database studio declares runtime dependencies that this install step will resolve.

- **Evidence against:** The dependency installations target the package's bundled studio directories; inspected source did not establish credential collection, exfiltration, or remote payload execution., The CLI entrypoint handles version checks or delegates arguments to PHP.
