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:** 0.9.4 - **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 package has no install hook, and the flagged runner requires an explicit \`simulate --ci\` invocation. It sends simulation data to the package's service and uses the model key with the configured model endpoint, consistent with the CLI's stated purpose. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-01T14:33:38.875Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-01T14:34:22.959Z - **Download time:** 1025 ms - **Static scan time:** 663 ms - **AI review time:** 42395 ms - **Total time:** 44084 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 flagged network and process behavior supports the package's user-invoked simulation workflow. - **Trigger:** A user runs holostaff simulate --ci. - **Impact:** Simulation results and recordings are sent to the configured Holostaff service; no unrelated credential collection or covert data transfer was identified. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-01T14:34:22.959Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The runner retrieves scenarios using the Holostaff API key, executes configured local simulation steps, calls an OpenAI-compatible model endpoint, and uploads simulation results to the workspace service. - **Rationale:** The package has no install hook, and the flagged runner requires an explicit \`simulate --ci\` invocation. It sends simulation data to the package's service and uses the model key with the configured model endpoint, consistent with the CLI's stated purpose. - **Files touched:** .holostaff/environment.json, .holostaff/simulate.json, .holostaff/sim-runs, scripts/sim/runs, opts.report - **Network endpoints:** holostaff-vision-1008066443043.us-central1.run.app, api.openai.com, www.holostaff.ai ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The package manifest has no preinstall, install, or postinstall script., The CI simulation runner is invoked only through the CLI's explicit simulate command., CI mode requires HOLOSTAFF\_API\_KEY and uses it to fetch simulation data from the configured Holostaff API., Run results and optional recordings are uploaded to the Holostaff simulation API as part of the simulation workflow., The engine uses an OpenAI key with api.openai.com by default, or a configured OpenAI-compatible model endpoint. - **Evidence against:** The runner executes configured recipe commands and starts services; this behavior is confined to an explicitly invoked CI simulation., The workflow writes simulation artifacts under .holostaff/sim-runs and may write a report to the user-specified path. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @holostaff/cli@0.9.4. - Review the evidence and your use of @holostaff/cli@0.9.4 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.
