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:** 26.9.13-632 - **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 inspected entrypoints expose interactive CLI workflows, and the manifest has no install lifecycle hook. The flagged process, network, and configuration behavior is used for user-invoked terminal, licensing, scaffolding, and audit functions; no concrete attack behavior was identified. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-12T06:37:34.148Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-12T06:38:08.165Z - **Download time:** 259 ms - **Static scan time:** 630 ms - **AI review time:** 33127 ms - **Total time:** 34017 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 package provides a user-invoked project scaffolder, license checks, and audit sharing. - **Trigger:** The user runs the create-chemx or chemx CLI, chooses a scaffold or audit action, and proceeds through its prompts. - **Impact:** These actions create files in the chosen project and send licensing or audit information during the corresponding CLI workflows. No confirmed attack surface was established. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-12T06:38:08.165Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Scaffolding writes selected starter files and a project-level .cursorrules file; license validation sends the entered license key and device identifier to configured service endpoints; report sharing requests project details before posting. - **Rationale:** The inspected entrypoints expose interactive CLI workflows, and the manifest has no install lifecycle hook. The flagged process, network, and configuration behavior is used for user-invoked terminal, licensing, scaffolding, and audit functions; no concrete attack behavior was identified. - **Files touched:** package.json, cli/index.js, cli/scaffold.js, cli/license.js, cli/navigator-share.js, cli/terminal.js, cli/audit/social-git.js - **Network endpoints:** chemicalx.xophz.com, mycompassconsulting.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json exposes a CLI and has no install lifecycle hook., Scaffolding runs when the CLI is invoked and writes starter files into the selected project directory., The generated .cursorrules file is part of that user-invoked project setup., License and device identifiers are sent to configured service endpoints for license validation and starter-kit download., GitHub username and project details are requested before audit reports are posted., GitHub user detection and browser launching use ordinary CLI integrations. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @chemx/create-chemx@26.9.13-632. - Review the evidence and your use of @chemx/create-chemx@26.9.13-632 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.
