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. 17 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:** 26.10.10-75 - **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 manifest’s postinstall hook leads to a script that only prints a hint. The flagged wizard and edit paths are user-invoked and guarded, so the source inspected does not establish an install-time attack. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 96.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-10T16:43:38.408Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-10T16:44:18.170Z - **Download time:** 1294 ms - **Static scan time:** 3313 ms - **AI review time:** 35154 ms - **Total time:** 39762 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 postinstall hook only emits an installation hint, while configuration writes occur through an explicitly invoked wizard or installer. - **Trigger:** Package installation invokes the postinstall script; project configuration changes require an explicit CLI wizard or installer action. - **Impact:** No unconsented agent-control mutation, credential exposure, or other concrete attack surface was established. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-10T16:44:18.170Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The postinstall script checks direct execution and writes a short hint to stderr. The wizard writes planned project files only when invoked with write enabled and no refusals. - **Rationale:** The manifest’s postinstall hook leads to a script that only prints a hint. The flagged wizard and edit paths are user-invoked and guarded, so the source inspected does not establish an install-time attack. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The install hook is \`node cli/postinstall.js\`., The hook prints a hint only when directly run; its source shows no configuration writes or network requests., Agent and project configuration writes require explicit wizard or installer execution; the wizard applies writes only outside dry-run and absent refusals., The edit gate validates workspace containment and file locks before edits. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @chem-x/starter-kit@26.10.10-75. - Review the evidence and your use of @chem-x/starter-kit@26.10.10-75 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.
