## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 20 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:** 0.36.0
- **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 a postinstall telemetry hook, but it exits unless the shared config already records telemetry consent. Runtime credential transfers are associated with explicit CLI operations and Extenshi service endpoints; the flagged static indicators did not establish a separate attack.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0%
- **Started:** 2026-10-29T08:49:29.839Z
- **Finished:** 2026-10-29T08:59:30.495Z

- **Static scan time:** 3047 ms
- **AI review time:** 596574 ms

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 source. The install hook can send an anonymous adoption event only after telemetry consent is already recorded.

- **Trigger:** The postinstall hook runs during package installation; its event path requires a prior telemetry opt-in. API requests occur during CLI operations.

- **Impact:** No unconsented collection, credential theft, or other concrete attack behavior was established.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-29T08:59:30.495Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The hook checks the saved telemetry setting before sending limited installation metadata to PostHog. Runtime API calls attach the configured key to Extenshi BFF requests for the selected operation.

- **Rationale:** Source inspection found a postinstall telemetry hook, but it exits unless the shared config already records telemetry consent. Runtime credential transfers are associated with explicit CLI operations and Extenshi service endpoints; the flagged static indicators did not establish a separate attack.

- **Network endpoints:** https://eu.i.posthog.com, https://bff.extenshi.io, https://dojo.extenshi.io

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 91.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The postinstall hook is declared in the manifest, but its telemetry send is gated on previously recorded telemetry consent; absent consent exits the hook., Runtime API keys are sent with explicit CLI operations to Extenshi BFF endpoints, and Pay sends use its configured BFF URL., The reviewed modules and prepared dependencies support extension scanning, publishing, reports, screenshots, and local asset work; no separate attack behavior was identified.
