## 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:** 0.20.0
- **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.

The manifest’s automatic postinstall leads to telemetry code that requires an existing positive consent setting before sending its limited event. Inspected source does not establish malicious behavior, so the scanner’s suspicious labels do not warrant a warning.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0%
- **Started:** 2026-10-09T16:40:26.016Z

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 install hook sends a limited telemetry event only when prior telemetry consent is recorded.

- **Trigger:** Package installation followed by the install hook finding recorded telemetry consent.

- **Impact:** No confirmed attack surface was established; the inspected hook gates the request on recorded consent and does not send credentials or project contents.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-09T16:40:55.589Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The hook posts an anonymous install event and coarse package and runtime metadata to its configured telemetry host.

- **Rationale:** The manifest’s automatic postinstall leads to telemetry code that requires an existing positive consent setting before sending its limited event. Inspected source does not establish malicious behavior, so the scanner’s suspicious labels do not warrant a warning.

- **Files touched:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.cjs, dist/cli.js

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

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 88.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json runs a postinstall script automatically., The install ping proceeds only when the existing config records telemetry consent., The ping sends package and runtime metadata with an anonymous ID; the CLI entrypoint loads telemetry initialization.

- **Evidence against:** No inspected source showed collection of credentials, user files, or project contents in the install ping., The automatic ping is gated by recorded consent; no confirmed attack surface was established.

matchedPackage = @extenshi/cli@0.18.0
matchedIdentity = npm:QGV4dGVuc2hpL2NsaQ:0.18.0
similarity = 0.725
summary = stored previous version shares package body but lacks this dangerous source file
```
