## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 15 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:** 0.15.0
- **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: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

Static inspection found a consent-gated PostHog install ping, not a concrete malicious chain. Scanner signals are explained by package-aligned CLI functionality and source-analysis rules.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0%

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 confirmed malicious attack surface. The install hook performs consent-gated anonymous telemetry; runtime network actions are aligned with explicit scanner and login commands.

- **Trigger:** npm postinstall after prior telemetry consent, or explicit CLI commands

- **Impact:** Sends bounded install telemetry only when prior consent exists; no credential harvesting, remote code execution, or agent-control mutation found.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.cjs, dist/auto-update.js, dist/cli.js, dist/scan.js, dist/review-checks.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-16T12:48:10.091Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** consent-gated telemetry and user-invoked scan requests

- **Rationale:** Static inspection found a consent-gated PostHog install ping, not a concrete malicious chain. Scanner signals are explained by package-aligned CLI functionality and source-analysis rules.

- **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall.cjs, ~/.extenshi/config.json

- **Network endpoints:** https://eu.i.posthog.com

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 94.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The postinstall hook can send an install telemetry event after reading shared Extenshi config.

- **Evidence against:** Postinstall exits unless recorded telemetry consent is exactly true; it also skips CI, Do Not Track, and explicit telemetry opt-out., The hook sends a bounded PostHog payload and has a 2-second request timeout., Dynamic require only reads this package's package.json; review-checks contains detection rules, not runtime eval., Artifact upload and credential persistence occur through explicit CLI commands.

## Affected versions and remediation

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
L251: // A pre-publish "will the store reject this?" gate must only flag what the

This package version adds a dangerous source file absent from the previous stored version; route for source-aware review.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
matchType = previous_version_dangerous_delta
matchedPackage = @extenshi/cli@0.14.2
matchedIdentity = npm:QGV4dGVuc2hpL2NsaQ:0.14.2
similarity = 0.813
summary = stored previous version shares package body but lacks this dangerous source file
