## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 22 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:** 0.43.0
- **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 event is sent only when telemetry consent is already recorded, and its payload is limited to package and runtime metadata plus an anonymous ID. Credential-bearing requests and local server startup are tied to the CLI's service and map features.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0%
- **Started:** 2026-11-04T12:14:09.894Z
- **Finished:** 2026-11-04T12:14:58.858Z

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 analytics hook requires recorded telemetry consent, while runtime network and process actions serve explicit CLI features.

- **Trigger:** Postinstall analytics requires telemetry: true in ~/.extenshi/config.json; service requests and build-map startup occur through their respective commands.

- **Impact:** No unauthorized collection, credential disclosure, or unrelated action was identified.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-11-04T12:14:58.858Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The consent-gated hook sends limited install analytics to PostHog. CLI service calls use the configured Extenshi BFF and API key; the map command starts a local server.

- **Rationale:** The postinstall event is sent only when telemetry consent is already recorded, and its payload is limited to package and runtime metadata plus an anonymous ID. Credential-bearing requests and local server startup are tied to the CLI's service and map features.

- **Files touched:** ~/.extenshi/config.json, project-local .extenshi build-map files

- **Network endpoints:** https://eu.i.posthog.com/i/v0/e/, ${config.bffUrl}/api/trpc/\*

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 94.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The install hook sends no event unless the existing config records telemetry: true., The install event contains the package surface and version, Node version, OS, architecture and anonymous ID., Risk and Pay requests send API keys to the configured Extenshi BFF for the requested service operations., The map server is launched only by the explicit map command; Pay mutations require --apply.

- **Evidence against:** The package has a postinstall hook that can send an analytics event., The CLI provides commands that use the configured API key to access Extenshi services.

## Affected versions and remediation
