Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 12 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:** 1.64.12 - **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 process execution belongs to the explicit package update command, and staging persistence is created by a human-only install command. Credentialed network calls serve the wait and staging-session features and use their configured service destinations. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 96.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-04T22:33:40.634Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-04T22:35:54.007Z - **Download time:** 3065 ms - **Static scan time:** 3717 ms - **AI review time:** 126590 ms - **Total time:** 133373 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:** No attack was identified; the flagged process, network, and persistence behaviors support the CLI’s stated features. - **Trigger:** User-invoked CLI commands; staging pool persistence is set up by the explicit install command. - **Impact:** These flows perform the requested coordination, staging-session, and update functions; no unrelated collection or account action was found. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-04T22:35:54.007Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Wait operations contact the configured BotBuddy relay, staging sign-in uses the configured HTTPS Supabase target, and the update command invokes npm for this package. - **Rationale:** The flagged process execution belongs to the explicit package update command, and staging persistence is created by a human-only install command. Credentialed network calls serve the wait and staging-session features and use their configured service destinations. - **Files touched:** ~/.botbuddy/update-check.json, ~/.botbuddy/staging-session-pool/\/, LaunchAgent plist path derived from the configured pool - **Network endpoints:** api.bot-buddy.ai/functions/v1/event-stream, registry.npmjs.org/@botbuddy/cli/latest, tenant-configured Supabase URL at /auth/v1/token ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest describes a command-line workflow tool and exposes CLI binaries and package exports., The staging pool writes and starts a launch agent only through its human-only install command., Wait requests send a session token to the BotBuddy relay, whose default URL is api.bot-buddy.ai; the relay URL can be configured by the caller., The staging sign-in adapter sends password grants to the configured Supabase URL, which the target policy requires to use HTTPS., The child process update behavior runs \`npm install -g @botbuddy/cli@latest\` through the explicit update command. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @botbuddy/cli@1.64.12. - Review the evidence and your use of @botbuddy/cli@1.64.12 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.
