Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 12 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:** 0.5.2 - **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 lifecycle hook is a transparent, positive-consent telemetry ping and only maintains its own vendor config. Other sensitive actions require explicit MCP tool calls and align with the package's extension-development purpose. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-14T21:59:21.215Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-14T21:59:58.558Z - **Download time:** 500 ms - **Static scan time:** 379 ms - **AI review time:** 36463 ms - **Total time:** 37343 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 malicious attack surface was confirmed. The install hook performs consent-gated anonymous telemetry; runtime network and file actions are tied to explicit MCP tools. - **Trigger:** npm install with prior telemetry consent, or explicit MCP tool invocation - **Impact:** No unconsented credential exfiltration, remote payload execution, persistence, or AI-agent control-surface mutation found. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.cjs, dist/config.js, dist/scan.js, dist/telemetry.js, dist/tools.js, dist/update-check.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-14T21:59:58.558Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** consent-gated telemetry and user-invoked extension tooling - **Rationale:** The lifecycle hook is a transparent, positive-consent telemetry ping and only maintains its own vendor config. Other sensitive actions require explicit MCP tool calls and align with the package's extension-development purpose. - **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall.cjs, ~/.extenshi/config.json, .env - **Network endpoints:** https://eu.i.posthog.com, https://bff.extenshi.io, https://scan.extenshi.io, https://docs.extenshi.io, https://registry.npmjs.org/@extenshi/mcp/latest ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** postinstall runs during npm installation and can send telemetry after a recorded consent check., The MCP exposes user-invoked artifact scanning and extension publishing capabilities. - **Evidence against:** Install telemetry exits unless ~/.extenshi/config.json has telemetry set to true., Postinstall payload is limited to anonymous install metadata; no credential or arbitrary file collection is shown., Runtime backend URLs are compiled-in Extenshi endpoints., No child-process execution, eval, dynamic remote loading, destructive operation, or AI-client configuration mutation was found. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @extenshi/mcp@0.5.2. - Review the evidence and your use of @extenshi/mcp@0.5.2 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.
