Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## 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:** 26.9.13-383 - **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 reviewed process, network, and file operations are tied to interactive CLI features. Source inspection found no concrete malicious behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 89.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-12T06:02:18.489Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-12T06:03:05.476Z - **Download time:** 257 ms - **Static scan time:** 570 ms - **AI review time:** 46159 ms - **Total time:** 46987 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 in the inspected source. The package provides a CLI for project scaffolding, licensing, auditing, and optional report sharing. - **Trigger:** A user invokes the CLI and chooses a command such as scaffold or share. - **Impact:** These behaviors support the advertised CLI workflow; inspected code did not establish covert collection or an unconsented install-time attack. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-12T06:03:05.476Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The CLI requests license validation from its configured Chemical X service, writes blueprint files into a project directory, and can publish a report to GitHub Discussions. - **Rationale:** The package has no install lifecycle hook, and the reviewed process, network, and file operations are tied to interactive CLI features. Source inspection found no concrete malicious behavior. - **Files touched:** package.json, cli/navigator-share.js, cli/terminal.js, cli/license.js, cli/scaffold.js, cli/audit/social-git.js - **Network endpoints:** chemicalx.xophz.com, mycompassconsulting.com, github.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 89.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest exposes a user-run CLI and declares no install lifecycle hook., License validation sends the entered license key and generated device ID to the configured Chemical X service., Scaffolding writes returned or local blueprint files into the chosen project directory when the CLI action runs., Git metadata collection reads the project’s origin URL through git., Discussion publication is an explicit CLI feature and uses the selected project details. - **Evidence against:** No inspected source showed credential harvesting, stealth execution, persistence, destructive behavior, or unconsented install-time mutation., The detected shell and process calls support interactive terminal and browser features. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @chem-x/create-chemx@26.9.13-383. - Review the evidence and your use of @chem-x/create-chemx@26.9.13-383 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.
