Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 16 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:** 2.6.0 - **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 flagged dynamic evaluation is part of a plugin sandbox, with restricted globals, and plugin installation is explicitly invoked. The install hook runs Husky setup; the reviewed source does not show unrelated install-time contact or another concrete attack. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-29T05:43:38.700Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-29T05:44:26.394Z - **Download time:** 259 ms - **Static scan time:** 5347 ms - **AI review time:** 42087 ms - **Total time:** 47694 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 reviewed dynamic execution supports the package’s plugin sandbox feature. - **Trigger:** Library import loads declared exports; plugin evaluation occurs when plugin execution is requested, and plugin installation occurs through an explicit CLI command. - **Impact:** No automatic credential theft, unrelated network contact, destructive action or concealed payload was identified in the reviewed paths. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-29T05:44:26.394Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The bundle reconstructs a supplied plugin function for isolated VM execution and restricts access to environment variables and module loading. - **Rationale:** The flagged dynamic evaluation is part of a plugin sandbox, with restricted globals, and plugin installation is explicitly invoked. The install hook runs Husky setup; the reviewed source does not show unrelated install-time contact or another concrete attack. - **Network endpoints:** api.anthropic.com, api.cohere.ai, registry.rag-pipeline.dev ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The package exports its library and CLI through declared entry points., The publish hook runs lint, tests, documentation validation and ESM verification; postinstall runs \`husky install\`., The flagged eval reconstructs a plugin function from \`plugin.generate.toString()\` for isolated plugin execution., The plugin sandbox gives the plugin an empty environment and blocks \`require()\` and \`import()\`., Plugin installation is performed by an explicit CLI operation that passes the selected source and config path to the installer. - **Evidence against:** The package has a postinstall hook, but it only runs Husky setup., Plugin code is dynamically evaluated, though the surrounding code places it in an isolated VM with restricted globals. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @devilsdev/rag-pipeline-utils@2.6.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @devilsdev/rag-pipeline-utils@2.6.0 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.
