## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 37 low-signal pattern(s) reviewed.

- **Verdict:** Manual Review
- **Product-default install policy:** Allow
- **Firewall policy:** No policy match
- **Public report status:** Under Review
- **Threat category:** Unknown
- **Selected version:** 5.345.149
- **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: manual review; recommendation: manual review. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

Inspected source did not verify the scanner’s credential-exfiltration claim or another attack. A required clean-review file is reported as binary and cannot be cited as UTF-8 source, so the package remains unresolved.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1

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 confirmed attack was established in the inspected paths. The required clean review remains incomplete because a required source file is binary and cannot be verified as UTF-8 source.

- **Trigger:** The manifest’s postinstall hook runs during installation; the inspected OAuth collector runs only when enabled.

- **Impact:** The available evidence does not establish harmful behavior; the unresolved required source prevents a clean verdict.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-19T21:25:25.973Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The installer imports the hook-engine setup, while the inspected credential collector sends requests to Anthropic endpoints when enabled.

- **Rationale:** Inspected source did not verify the scanner’s credential-exfiltration claim or another attack. A required clean-review file is reported as binary and cannot be cited as UTF-8 source, so the package remains unresolved.

- **Files touched:** package.json, scripts/install-hook-engine.mjs, dist/lib/capacity/collectors/claude-oauth.js

- **Network endpoints:** https://api.anthropic.com/api/oauth/usage

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Manual Review

- **Confidence:** 71.0%

- **Recommended action:** manual\_review

- **Intent class:** Unknown

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **AI review observations:** The manifest runs a postinstall hook that imports the native hook-engine installer., The Claude OAuth collector is disabled unless its saved collector setting is enabled, and its inspected request uses a bearer token for Anthropic’s API., The inspected agent-related paths include project-state writes, settings reads, and credential-file existence checks.

- **Evidence against:** The inspected Claude OAuth paths point to Anthropic’s service and show a disabled-by-default collector; they do not establish credential transfer to an unrelated recipient., The required clean review includes a source file reported as binary, which cannot be verified through the required exact UTF-8 citation process.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @indigoai-us/hq-cli@5.345.149.

- Review the evidence and your use of @indigoai-us/hq-cli@5.345.149 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.
