## Verdict summary
**Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 9 finding(s) warrant review before installing.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Matched warn-list
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Destructive Action
- **Selected version:** 0.119.6
- **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: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

The postpack cleanup has a concrete recursive deletion effect, but the inspected source does not establish malicious intent or a broader attack chain. Warn for the destructive capability rather than block publication.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** The postpack lifecycle script recursively deletes package-root contents after packing. This creates a destructive risk when the package is packed from a working directory containing files that should be retained.

- **Trigger:** Running the package pack lifecycle.

- **Impact:** Files in the package working directory can be lost after packing.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-08T15:50:14.862Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The script retains only package.json and stage-pack.mjs, then recursively removes every other entry in the package root.

- **Rationale:** The postpack cleanup has a concrete recursive deletion effect, but the inspected source does not establish malicious intent or a broader attack chain. Warn for the destructive capability rather than block publication.

- **Files touched:** package.json

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 89.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** package.json defines a postpack script that recursively removes every package-root entry except package.json and stage-pack.mjs., .githooks/\_deft-run.sh resolves and invokes the local or global deft CLI with the hook arguments.

- **Evidence against:** The manifest has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., The inspected hook helper invokes a CLI and contains no file deletion or network behavior.
