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. 14 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:** 0.14.2 - **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 package has no registry install lifecycle hook or self-dependency chain. Its risky primitives are tied to explicit CLI workflows and project-local configuration, with no concrete malicious behavior found. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-08T01:04:48.290Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-08T01:05:49.494Z - **Download time:** 1515 ms - **Static scan time:** 717 ms - **AI review time:** 58970 ms - **Total time:** 61204 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 install-time or import-time attack surface was found. The flagged execution paths are explicit CLI features scoped to the user's project and development process. - **Trigger:** The user explicitly runs devvit init or devvit playtest. - **Impact:** The commands can modify or run the user's selected project, but no covert persistence, credential harvesting, or unconsented exfiltration was found. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-08T01:05:49.494Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Project initialization, project dependency installation, and execution of the project's configured development script. - **Rationale:** The package has no registry install lifecycle hook or self-dependency chain. Its risky primitives are tied to explicit CLI workflows and project-local configuration, with no concrete malicious behavior found. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., The runtime npm install is an exported helper used by the explicit init command., The shell execution in playtest runs only the current project's configured scripts.dev command., The process utility only terminates the child process tree started for development., The dynamic require reads this package's package.json to check the Node.js version. - **Evidence against:** Explicit init can rewrite a newly created project's package.json and install its dependencies., Explicit playtest can run a project's scripts.dev with a shell., User-invoked app publishing can upload a supplied source bundle to a server-provided URL. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @devvit/cli@0.14.2. - Review the evidence and your use of @devvit/cli@0.14.2 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.
