## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 23 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:** 1.0.38
- **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 source shows local credential storage and API use constrained to Cursor backend configuration, with no install hook or concrete attack behavior. The scanner signals are not supported by the reviewed source.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 97.0%
- **Started:** 2026-10-16T22:08:17.088Z

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 surface was identified in the inspected source. The flagged credential and command-output behavior is consistent with Cursor API use and optional digest-only execution output.

- **Trigger:** No malicious install trigger was found; the manifest contains no npm install lifecycle hook.

- **Impact:** No unauthorized credential transfer, agent-control change, or other attack impact was established.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-16T22:09:43.216Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The SDK stores credentials locally, checks the saved backend URL before reusing an API key, and sends authenticated requests through a Cursor API client.

- **Rationale:** The inspected source shows local credential storage and API use constrained to Cursor backend configuration, with no install hook or concrete attack behavior. The scanner signals are not supported by the reviewed source.

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 97.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest routes SDK imports to its runtime bundles and lists build and check scripts; it has no npm install lifecycle hook., The CommonJS, ESM, and bundled code validates credentials stored at ~/.cursor/sdk/auth.json., The credential store applies restrictive file and directory permissions when saving credentials., A saved API key is reused only when its stored backend URL matches the configured Cursor backend; the API client defaults to Cursor's API host., The highlighted workspace code parses and sanitizes Cursor project paths, while the SQLite bundles load runtime-provided SQLite drivers., The execution wrapper can replace successful command output with its SHA-256 digest when digest-only mode is requested.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @cursor/sdk@1.0.38.

- Review the evidence and your use of @cursor/sdk@1.0.38 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.
