## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 20 low-signal pattern(s) reviewed.

- **Verdict:** Manual Review
- **Product-default install policy:** Allow
- **Firewall policy:** No policy match
- **Public report status:** Under Review
- **Threat category:** Unknown
- **Selected version:** 3.5.6
- **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: manual review; recommendation: manual review. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

The inspected manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and the flagged feature-flag commands perform explicit authenticated CLI operations. The selected @contrail/loader dependency is used at runtime but its implementation could not be inspected, so this package cannot be cleared as clean.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1

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 concrete attack was established in the inspected package source, but a runtime dependency used by a CLI command could not be reviewed.

- **Trigger:** Running the load-local CLI command may load @contrail/loader.

- **Impact:** That command's behavior remains unresolved.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/commands/load-local/index.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-29T01:00:12.707Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The command imports a declared dependency whose implementation was unavailable in the snapshot.

- **Rationale:** The inspected manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and the flagged feature-flag commands perform explicit authenticated CLI operations. The selected @contrail/loader dependency is used at runtime but its implementation could not be inspected, so this package cannot be cleared as clean.

- **Files touched:** package.json, dist/commands/load-local/index.js

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Manual Review

- **Confidence:** 82.0%

- **Recommended action:** manual\_review

- **Intent class:** Unknown

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **AI review observations:** The manifest declares @contrail/loader as a runtime dependency, and load-local imports it; that implementation was unavailable for source review., The manifest scripts contain build and packaging tasks but no install lifecycle hook., Feature-flag import and export run as explicit CLI commands and call the authenticated API for those operations.

- **Evidence against:** The protobuf.js flagged file is a bundled module loader that initializes protobuf.js modules; the inspected excerpt shows no hidden payload execution.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @contrail/cli@3.5.6.

- Review the evidence and your use of @contrail/cli@3.5.6 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.
