## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 14 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:** 0.11.1
- **Selected version is latest:** Yes
- **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 flagged command execution and network transfers belong to the user-run simulation feature: it starts the configured test app, sends observations to the selected model, and reports results to Holostaff. The manifest has no install hooks, and the reviewed source shows no unrelated credential collection or concealed automatic behavior.

## Latest scan

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 identified; the network and process activity serves the explicitly invoked simulation feature.

- **Trigger:** The user runs \`holostaff simulate\`; CI mode additionally requires a configured API key and source ID.

- **Impact:** Simulation page content and results leave the local environment as expected for this feature; no unrelated credential collection or attack behavior was identified.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-11-01T14:32:19.265Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The simulator sends page observations and screenshots to a configured model endpoint, then uploads simulation results and recordings to the Holostaff API.

- **Rationale:** The flagged command execution and network transfers belong to the user-run simulation feature: it starts the configured test app, sends observations to the selected model, and reports results to Holostaff. The manifest has no install hooks, and the reviewed source shows no unrelated credential collection or concealed automatic behavior.

- **Files touched:** .holostaff/environment.json, .holostaff/simulate.json, .holostaff/sim-runs, OS temporary directory/holostaff-sim-\*, .env

- **Network endpoints:** api.openai.com, holostaff-vision-1008066443043.us-central1.run.app, SIM\_MODEL\_BASE\_URL (operator-configured)

### 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 has no install lifecycle hooks; its scripts are development and build commands., The CLI dispatches simulation work only for the explicit \`simulate\` command., CI simulation requires a Holostaff API key and source ID before it runs., The CI runner uploads simulation run data to the configured Holostaff API., The engine sends page observations and screenshots to the selected model endpoint as part of its simulation loop.

- **Evidence against:** Simulation data, which can include page content, is sent to a model endpoint and run results are uploaded to Holostaff; this is consistent with the stated simulation feature and requires an explicit command.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @holostaff/cli@0.11.1.

- Review the evidence and your use of @holostaff/cli@0.11.1 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report.
