## Verdict summary
**Blocked & quarantined** — The user's Lightning wallet can be charged automatically beyond the payment for the requested job.

- **Verdict:** Malicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Block
- **Firewall policy:** Matched malicious
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Malware
- **Selected version:** 0.12.0
- **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: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

The normal successful-job path triggers a pocket refill by default when a wallet and Lightning float are configured. It pays a mint invoice without asking for separate authorization, so the automatic spending behavior warrants blocking.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** A completed CLI job can trigger an unprompted wallet payment to refill the agent's ecash pocket.

- **Trigger:** After a successful job, when an agent wallet and Lightning float are configured and the pocket is below its target.

- **Impact:** The user's Lightning wallet can be charged automatically beyond the payment for the requested job.

- **Evidence paths:** dist/dvm.js, dist/pocket-refill-PMY77T54.js, dist/chunk-PWOTICNA.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-30T10:37:30.424Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The CLI calculates the refill amount, creates a mint invoice, and pays it through the configured Lightning wallet connection. A budget cap limits the amount but does not request authorization.

- **Attack narrative:** After a successful job, the CLI can automatically create and pay a mint invoice from the configured Lightning wallet to refill the agent's ecash pocket. This can spend additional user funds without a separate authorization prompt.

- **Rationale:** The normal successful-job path triggers a pocket refill by default when a wallet and Lightning float are configured. It pays a mint invoice without asking for separate authorization, so the automatic spending behavior warrants blocking.

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 95.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for block:** On successful job completion, the normal CLI path calls settleCreditAfterJob., settleCreditAfterJob invokes the pocket refill by default unless allowTopup is explicitly false., The refill runs when a local agent wallet and configured Lightning float are present, and it checks whether the pocket is below its target., The refill calculates a funding amount toward the target and requests payment within a local budget cap., The funding flow pays the mint invoice through the configured Lightning wallet connection., The default pocket target is $5.

- **Evidence against:** The manifest has no install lifecycle hook; the behavior runs during normal CLI use., The reviewed code does not establish credential exfiltration or a fixed malicious payment recipient.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @dvmkit/dvm-cli@0.12.0.

- Avoid installing @dvmkit/dvm-cli@0.12.0. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies.
- Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe.
- If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment.
