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. 13 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:** 1.0.4 - **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 automatic installer is a bounded compatibility patcher, not an opaque execution chain, and the runtime networking matches the SDK's identity-verification function. No concrete malicious behavior was found by static source inspection. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-01T11:16:12.432Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-01T11:17:23.682Z - **Download time:** 1021 ms - **Static scan time:** 2225 ms - **AI review time:** 68003 ms - **Total time:** 71250 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 confirmed malicious attack surface was established. The package performs product-aligned biometric verification requests when its UI is used; its install hook only applies fixed Android build patches. - **Trigger:** Installing the package runs the Gradle patcher; rendering the VLens component and capturing identity data triggers verification requests. - **Impact:** It can alter exact known dependency build files during installation and transmit user-provided verification data to the configured service. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-01T11:17:23.682Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Narrow Android dependency patching and configured biometric API requests. - **Rationale:** The automatic installer is a bounded compatibility patcher, not an opaque execution chain, and the runtime networking matches the SDK's identity-verification function. No concrete malicious behavior was found by static source inspection. - **Network endpoints:** https://api.vlenseg.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** Its postinstall hook runs a script that can modify exact matching Android Gradle files in installed dependencies., At runtime it sends supplied ID, face, and NFC data to the configured identity-verification API., The flagged archive is an audio bundle, and the flagged localization file contains ordinary UI strings. - **Evidence against:** The installer is transparent, makes narrowly matched build-compatibility replacements, and has no shell, network, payload-download, or self-dependency behavior., Network calls are product-aligned identity-verification requests to the configured service., No credential harvesting, hidden persistence, dynamic code execution, or AI-agent control-surface writes were found. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @dev\_vlens/react-native-vlens@1.0.4. - Review the evidence and your use of @dev\_vlens/react-native-vlens@1.0.4 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.
