## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 12 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:** 0.3.2
- **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 inspected Gist flow is explicitly invoked and uploads the current session as a non-public gist through the user's authenticated GitHub CLI. The flagged credential strings are help text, and the shell resolver is gated by an explicit \`!\` config value; no malicious behavior was identified.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 95.0%
- **Started:** 2026-11-05T08:28:21.602Z

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 network and shell capabilities serve user-invoked sharing and configured credential resolution.

- **Trigger:** A user enters \`/share\` in interactive mode; configured shell values are evaluated when resolved.

- **Impact:** A user who invokes \`/share\` sends the current session HTML to GitHub. No default credential exfiltration or unrelated collection was found.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-11-05T08:29:32.207Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The share handler exports the session as HTML and invokes the authenticated GitHub CLI to create a non-public gist. Config values beginning with \`!\` execute as shell commands to produce their value.

- **Rationale:** The inspected Gist flow is explicitly invoked and uploads the current session as a non-public gist through the user's authenticated GitHub CLI. The flagged credential strings are help text, and the shell resolver is gated by an explicit \`!\` config value; no malicious behavior was identified.

- **Files touched:** os.tmpdir()/session.html

- **Network endpoints:** gist.github.com

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 95.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest exposes a coding-agent CLI and module entry points; it declares no install lifecycle hook., The Gist-sharing handler is dispatched only for the exact \`/share\` command., Sharing checks for an authenticated GitHub CLI, exports the session to a temporary HTML file, and invokes \`gh gist create --public=false\`., Shell commands in config values run only when the value starts with \`!\`, an explicit configuration form.

- **Evidence against:** The Gist upload is a user-triggered session-sharing feature and creates a non-public gist., The flagged credential references in the CLI file are help text describing environment variables, not credential collection., The flagged shell execution supports configured credential values; no unrelated automatic execution or data transfer was identified.
