## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 13 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:** 0.4.2
- **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: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

The package has no install lifecycle hook, and the flagged npm install runs only in the interactive \`cairn setup\` command. That flow installs the Cairn packages and asks the user before collecting provider credentials, which it stores in the target project’s \`.env\` file.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 96.0%

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.

- **Trigger:** No automatic attack trigger identified; setup and removal run from their explicit CLI commands.

- **Impact:** No malicious or unrequested impact identified.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-11-01T11:14:46.795Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The flagged package installation occurs in the interactive setup flow, which asks before collecting provider credentials and stores supplied keys in the target project’s \`.env\` file.

- **Rationale:** The package has no install lifecycle hook, and the flagged npm install runs only in the interactive \`cairn setup\` command. That flow installs the Cairn packages and asks the user before collecting provider credentials, which it stores in the target project’s \`.env\` file.

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 96.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The package exposes its CLI as \`cairn\` and declares only build and typecheck npm scripts; no install lifecycle script is present., The CLI runs setup or removal only when the corresponding command is selected., Setup installs the named Cairn packages into the target project., Setup prompts the user to choose an LLM provider and enter its key, then writes the supplied key to the project’s \`.env\` file.

```javascript
matchType = previous_version_dangerous_delta
matchedPackage = @cairnvibe/indexer@0.2.6
matchedIdentity = npm:QGNhaXJudmliZS9pbmRleGVy:0.2.6
similarity = 0.429
summary = stored previous version shares package body but lacks this dangerous source file
