## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 19 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:** 0.25.0
- **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.

Source inspection found an install-time telemetry hook, but it requires explicit prior telemetry consent and skips CI. The other flagged behaviors are command-bound browser login, screenshot capture, and clean-room build verification; no concrete attack surface was established.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0%
- **Started:** 2026-10-11T13:27:01.215Z

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 in the inspected files. The postinstall hook can send anonymous install telemetry after explicit saved consent.

- **Trigger:** Package installation runs the postinstall hook; telemetry transmission additionally requires saved consent and is skipped in CI.

- **Impact:** The observed effect is consent-gated telemetry; no credential collection or attack behavior was established.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-11T13:27:36.351Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** After the consent gate, the hook sends an install event containing an anonymous identifier and basic runtime details to the configured PostHog host.

- **Rationale:** Source inspection found an install-time telemetry hook, but it requires explicit prior telemetry consent and skips CI. The other flagged behaviors are command-bound browser login, screenshot capture, and clean-room build verification; no concrete attack surface was established.

- **Files touched:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.cjs, dist/login-runtime.js, dist/amo-source.js, dist/cli.js, dist/screenshots.js

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

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 91.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest runs a postinstall script; the script sends anonymous install telemetry only when saved config records telemetry consent., The browser login runtime uses a loopback callback listener., The AMO source command executes supplied build commands in a clean room when invoked., The CLI parses user commands, and screenshot capture launches a persistent Chromium context.

- **Evidence against:** The postinstall script skips CI and exits unless telemetry consent is explicitly recorded., The inspected runtime behaviors are tied to CLI commands; no attack behavior was identified in the required files.
