## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 23 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:** 0.23.1
- **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 manifest has no npm install hook, and the flagged agent configuration behavior is reached from deployment operations. The required vendor script inspected here builds tmux session metadata; the cited source does not substantiate the scanner's maliciousness claim.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 82.0%

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 was identified in the inspected source. The CLI links a deploy skill into its workspace during deployment-related operations.

- **Trigger:** A user runs deployment approval or starts a deploy run.

- **Impact:** This changes agent skill configuration within the deployment workspace; the inspected behavior does not establish credential theft or another attack.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-11T14:25:02.317Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The CLI creates a Claude skills directory and links its deploy entry to the runner's deploy skill.

- **Rationale:** The manifest has no npm install hook, and the flagged agent configuration behavior is reached from deployment operations. The required vendor script inspected here builds tmux session metadata; the cited source does not substantiate the scanner's maliciousness claim.

- **Files touched:** dist/cli.js, vendor/tmux-resurrect/scripts/save.sh

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 82.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest exposes the bundled CLI as a user-run command and lists no install lifecycle hook., The flagged agent integration creates a Claude skill link inside a workspace; deployment approval and deploy-run code call the helper., The required vendor script builds tmux session and pane metadata for saving state.

- **Evidence against:** Inspected source shows the reported workspace configuration write is tied to deploy setup or a deploy run, not an npm install hook., The inspected manifest and source excerpts do not establish credential exfiltration or malicious behavior.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @factiii/runner@0.23.1.

- Review the evidence and your use of @factiii/runner@0.23.1 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report.
