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:** 0.16.1 - **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. The postinstall hook requires telemetry consent recorded in the shared config before it creates an anonymous identifier or sends an install event. The inspected runtime paths send Extenshi credentials to the fixed Extenshi BFF and store credentials to the relevant publishing APIs; no concrete attack behavior was found. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 92.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-26T02:19:24.767Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-26T02:22:09.938Z - **Download time:** 516 ms - **Static scan time:** 685 ms - **AI review time:** 163970 ms - **Total time:** 165171 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 event is gated on recorded telemetry consent, while runtime credential transfers observed here serve Extenshi or browser-store operations. - **Trigger:** Package installation, server startup, or a caller-requested MCP operation. - **Impact:** No unauthorized credential forwarding, collection, or account action was established. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-26T02:22:09.938Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The install hook sends limited package and runtime metadata only after a positive consent check. Publishing credentials are passed to the configured Extenshi or store service for their corresponding operations. - **Rationale:** The postinstall hook requires telemetry consent recorded in the shared config before it creates an anonymous identifier or sends an install event. The inspected runtime paths send Extenshi credentials to the fixed Extenshi BFF and store credentials to the relevant publishing APIs; no concrete attack behavior was found. - **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall.cjs, dist/config.js, dist/publish-access.js, dist/tools.js, dist/publish.js - **Network endpoints:** https://eu.i.posthog.com, https://bff.extenshi.io, https://www.googleapis.com, https://scan.extenshi.io ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 92.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest installs scripts/postinstall.cjs; the hook exits unless the shared config has telemetry explicitly set to true, and its event contains an anonymous identifier plus package and runtime metadata., The publish-access request sends the configured Extenshi API key to the fixed Extenshi BFF. Store publishing uses separately configured credentials and sends them to the corresponding store APIs., The runtime telemetry module supports opt-outs. The inspected dependency manifests show no install lifecycle hook, and their entrypoints match their contracts, publisher, and analytics roles., The inspected scan and media code describes Extenshi scanning and restricts local media reads to the workspace. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @extenshi/mcp@0.16.1. - Review the evidence and your use of @extenshi/mcp@0.16.1 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.
