## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 18 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:** 0.60.3
- **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.

Source inspection found no install hook or concrete attack behavior. The flagged webhook and cleanup code is consistent with testing and report maintenance, and the required finding paths contain no evidence of a malicious chain.

## Latest scan

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 inspected network and file operations support the package’s testing and reporting functions.

- **Trigger:** A consumer imports or calls the relevant library or reporter functions; no install-time trigger is declared.

- **Impact:** The inspected behavior supports webhook testing, API access, report upload, and bounded disk cleanup; no unrelated credential collection or destructive action was established.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-07T21:15:43.691Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Webhook credentials are sent to the matching webhook.site service, API calls use the Empirical API endpoint by default, and cleanup removes uploaded test attachments when disk limits are exceeded.

- **Rationale:** Source inspection found no install hook or concrete attack behavior. The flagged webhook and cleanup code is consistent with testing and report maintenance, and the required finding paths contain no evidence of a malicious chain.

- **Files touched:** dist/reporter/attachment-cleanup.js

- **Network endpoints:** https://webhook.site, https://api.empirical.run

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 94.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json exposes the library through dist/index.js and defines no install lifecycle hook., dist/webhook.js sends a caller-provided webhook API key to webhook.site, its matching service endpoint., dist/reporter/attachment-cleanup.js deletes queued uploaded attachments as disk cleanup., upstream-oracle/run.mjs describes an upstream Playwright reporter comparison test harness., dist/reporter/local-test.js defines a local report merge helper; it is not an install hook., dist/api-worker-client.js defaults API requests to api.empirical.run, with an environment override.

## Affected versions and remediation
