Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 13 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:** 0.13.1 - **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 exits unless the shared configuration records affirmative consent. Runtime tools use the package's fixed service endpoints, and MCP analytics filters tool content; no concrete attack behavior was established. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 96.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-15T17:55:05.379Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-15T17:56:03.741Z - **Download time:** 774 ms - **Static scan time:** 616 ms - **AI review time:** 56971 ms - **Total time:** 58362 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. The install hook is limited to telemetry after affirmative consent, and the runtime exposes tools through the MCP client. - **Trigger:** Installing the package invokes its postinstall script; that script sends an event only when telemetry consent is recorded. - **Impact:** The inspected behavior is limited to consent-gated adoption telemetry and client-requested MCP operations. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-15T17:56:03.741Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The install event uses an anonymous install identifier and coarse runtime details. Runtime analytics removes tool content before transmission. - **Rationale:** Source inspection found an install-time telemetry hook, but it exits unless the shared configuration records affirmative consent. Runtime tools use the package's fixed service endpoints, and MCP analytics filters tool content; no concrete attack behavior was established. - **Files touched:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.cjs, dist/index.js, dist/telemetry.js, dist/mcp-analytics.js, dist/config.js, dist/development-guide.js - **Network endpoints:** https://eu.i.posthog.com, https://bff.extenshi.io, https://scan.extenshi.io, https://docs.extenshi.io ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest defines a postinstall hook that runs the package's telemetry script., The install script exits unless the shared config records an affirmative telemetry choice., When enabled, the install event contains an anonymous install identifier and coarse package and runtime details., The MCP server registers tools for client requests and uses fixed Extenshi service endpoints., MCP analytics removes tool arguments, results, intent, and error messages before sending events., The development guide describes extension development and reference tools. - **Evidence against:** The postinstall hook can send an install event over the network, but the inspected code requires recorded telemetry consent first. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @extenshi/mcp@0.13.1. - Review the evidence and your use of @extenshi/mcp@0.13.1 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
