## 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:** 0.30.0
- **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 postinstall hook requires previously recorded affirmative telemetry consent before creating an ID or sending an install event. Other flagged execution behavior is tied to explicit CLI workflows, and the inspected dependency snapshots contain no install hooks.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 96.0%
- **Started:** 2026-10-22T23:54:15.764Z

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. Install telemetry is sent only when prior affirmative consent is saved.

- **Trigger:** npm runs the postinstall hook; it exits without sending unless telemetry is already true in the Extenshi configuration.

- **Impact:** The inspected behavior supports opted-in adoption telemetry; it does not send credentials, artifact contents, or user paths.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-22T23:55:41.345Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** With consent, the hook posts an install event, anonymous ID, package and runtime versions, and coarse platform details to the default PostHog host.

- **Rationale:** The postinstall hook requires previously recorded affirmative telemetry consent before creating an ID or sending an install event. Other flagged execution behavior is tied to explicit CLI workflows, and the inspected dependency snapshots contain no install hooks.

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 96.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json runs scripts/postinstall.cjs, which exits unless saved telemetry consent is true; after that gate it sends an install event with an anonymous ID and coarse runtime metadata to the default PostHog host., The inspected @extenshi/contracts, @extenshi/publisher, and @resvg/resvg-wasm dependency snapshots show ordinary library entrypoints and no install lifecycle hooks., The CLI scan and evidence-ingest flows submit user-selected artifacts to Extenshi service endpoints as part of explicit commands., The screenshot loader resolves Playwright packages for the screenshot feature; the browser opener launches a platform URL handler, and shell commands in amo-source run in a temporary clean room for verification., The report feedback request is initiated by a user click, and smoke code records browser errors for extension contexts.

- **Evidence against:** The install hook does send telemetry automatically after consent has previously been saved, but source requires telemetry: true before creating an anonymous ID or making the request., Scanner flags for dynamic loading and child-process or shell use resolve to screenshot support, browser opening, and explicitly invoked clean-room rebuild behavior.

## Affected versions and remediation
