## 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:** 3.23.0
- **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 flagged child-process use is a development TypeScript build, while the added OAuth code implements a browser-based Hostinger sign-in flow. The inspected bootstrap handles authentication only when invoked; no install-time exfiltration or unrelated execution was found.

## 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 was identified; the inspected behavior supports a Hostinger API MCP server and its OAuth login flow.

- **Trigger:** Server startup, a user-requested API tool call, or explicit invocation of the headless connect bootstrap.

- **Impact:** No malicious impact identified in the inspected source.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-30T08:24:58.122Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The server uses Hostinger's API and OAuth endpoints; OAuth login opens a browser and completes through a localhost callback.

- **Rationale:** The flagged child-process use is a development TypeScript build, while the added OAuth code implements a browser-based Hostinger sign-in flow. The inspected bootstrap handles authentication only when invoked; no install-time exfiltration or unrelated execution was found.

- **Files touched:** ~/.config/hostinger-mcp/credentials.json, %APPDATA%/hostinger-mcp/credentials.json

- **Network endpoints:** auth.hostinger.com, developers.hostinger.com

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 95.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The package has no install lifecycle scripts; its declared scripts are start, build, and start:ts., OAuth uses Hostinger's auth.hostinger.com issuer and opens a browser for the authorization flow., The headless bootstrap checks for existing authentication and starts login only when none is found.

- **Evidence against:** build.js runs npx tsc and copies build artifacts; it does not download or execute an unrelated payload., OAuth credentials are used in Hostinger's OAuth flow and saved under the hostinger-mcp configuration directory.
