Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## 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:** 2.32.2 - **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 install lifecycle hook, and the reviewed credential flows are gated by user configuration and an Armor session. The flagged secret pattern is an example in CLI help, while the added 1Password custodian accesses configured dotenvx keys through the local 1Password CLI. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 92.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-03T00:54:43.621Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-03T00:55:50.180Z - **Download time:** 516 ms - **Static scan time:** 1303 ms - **AI review time:** 64736 ms - **Total time:** 66559 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; reviewed network and credential handling support dotenvx's configured Armor proxy and local 1Password key custody. - **Trigger:** The proxy runs with an explicit \`dotenvx run\` command when configured credential placeholders are present. - **Impact:** Configured credentials are routed for the requested service operation; no unrelated collection or automatic account action was identified. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-03T00:55:50.180Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** It forwards eligible credential-bearing requests through the HTTPS Armor hostname from the user's session; 1Password reads configured key references using the local CLI. - **Rationale:** The package has no install lifecycle hook, and the reviewed credential flows are gated by user configuration and an Armor session. The flagged secret pattern is an example in CLI help, while the added 1Password custodian accesses configured dotenvx keys through the local 1Password CLI. - **Files touched:** os.tmpdir()/dxp-\*/ca.pem, os.tmpdir()/dxp-\*/proxy-preload.cjs - **Network endpoints:** session.hostname()/api/proxy (configured Armor host) ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 92.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The package manifest lists development and release scripts, with no install or lifecycle hook., The \`run\` action passes credentials prepared for the requested command to the proxy configuration., The proxy does nothing when no environment value matches a configured credential placeholder; when active, it requires an Armor login and uses the session's HTTPS hostname., The proxy sends a request envelope containing credential ciphertext and placeholders to the configured Armor host's \`/api/proxy\` endpoint., The 1Password custodian reads a configured dotenvx private-key reference through the local \`op\` CLI. - **Evidence against:** The credential proxy handles credential-bearing requests, and the 1Password integration invokes an external CLI; both behaviors are tied to dotenvx credential-management features and explicit configuration. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @dotenvx/dotenvx@2.32.2. - Review the evidence and your use of @dotenvx/dotenvx@2.32.2 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.
