## Verdict summary
**Blocked & quarantined** — Funds can be spent on repeated refills without a separate user request for each purchase; the default pocket target is $5.

- **Verdict:** Malicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Block
- **Firewall policy:** Matched malicious
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Malware
- **Selected version:** 0.12.1
- **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.

A normal completed job triggers a Lightning-funded wallet refill by default, spending from the user's saved float without a separate request for that purchase. The requirement for a configured float and the target limit reduce the amount at risk but do not make this automatic spend requested.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Automatically spends the configured Lightning float to replenish the agent's ecash wallet after completed jobs.

- **Trigger:** A normal CLI job completes while an agent wallet and Lightning float are configured and the pocket is below its refill threshold.

- **Impact:** Funds can be spent on repeated refills without a separate user request for each purchase; the default pocket target is $5.

- **Evidence paths:** dist/dvm.js, dist/pocket-refill-Z4YT7CHW.js, dist/chunk-WPTJM5A7.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-11-02T10:04:41.803Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The completion path invokes the refiller by default. It creates a mint quote for the shortfall and pays the invoice using the saved Lightning float.

- **Attack narrative:** When a job completes, the CLI automatically checks the saved ecash wallet and, if its balance is low, buys a refill by paying a mint invoice from the user's configured Lightning float. This can spend funds without a separate request for the refill; the default target is $5.

- **Rationale:** A normal completed job triggers a Lightning-funded wallet refill by default, spending from the user's saved float without a separate request for that purchase. The requirement for a configured float and the target limit reduce the amount at risk but do not make this automatic spend requested.

- **Files touched:** dist/dvm.js, dist/pocket-refill-Z4YT7CHW.js, dist/chunk-WPTJM5A7.js

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 94.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for block:** After a completed job, the CLI calls the pocket refiller by default unless top-up was explicitly disabled; ordinary calls set that flag from \`creditOnly\`., The refiller uses the saved agent wallet and Lightning float, then calculates funding when the pocket is below its target., It creates a mint quote and pays its Lightning invoice from the float, moving funds without a separate approval for that refill., The default pocket target is $5, and refill is considered when the balance falls below 25% of the target.

- **Evidence against:** Refill requires both an existing agent wallet and a configured Lightning float, and is limited to the gap between the current balance and the configured target., The code emits a float budget warning before paying the invoice, and records the payment against the selected mint.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @dvmkit/dvm-cli@0.12.1.

- Avoid installing @dvmkit/dvm-cli@0.12.1. 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.
