## 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:** 0.29.0
- **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 its actual send is gated by a saved affirmative preference and carries limited package and runtime metadata. The flagged process execution is used by login or explicit rebuild workflows; no concrete attack behavior was identified.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0%
- **Started:** 2026-10-18T23:51:32.926Z

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 package behavior. The install hook sends limited adoption telemetry only after recorded affirmative consent.

- **Trigger:** Installing the package; the telemetry request proceeds only when the saved preference is true and applicable environment guards pass.

- **Impact:** No confirmed harmful effect was established from the inspected source.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-18T23:52:11.784Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The hook reads the Extenshi config and posts package version and coarse runtime information to its telemetry endpoint. Other inspected process execution supports browser login or explicit source rebuild verification.

- **Rationale:** Source inspection found an install-time telemetry hook, but its actual send is gated by a saved affirmative preference and carries limited package and runtime metadata. The flagged process execution is used by login or explicit rebuild workflows; no concrete attack behavior was identified.

- **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall.cjs

- **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 install hook requires telemetry to be explicitly recorded as true before continuing., The postinstall event sends package version and coarse runtime details to the configured telemetry host., Browser launching occurs inside the login helper and is skipped in CI or when disabled., Rebuild commands run in a temporary clean room as part of the source verification helper., Git subprocess use is limited to local provenance inspection., The CLI entrypoint imports product commands; inspected smoke callbacks only collect browser error messages.
