## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 13 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:** 0.1.1
- **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: manual review; recommendation: manual review. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

The inspected source confirms install-time daemon registration, while the platform-specific executable selected by that installer could not be reviewed. Because this unresolved registry dependency is required to assess the daemon’s behavior, the package needs manual review; the available source does not establish malicious activity.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** No concrete attack was established in the inspected JavaScript source. The postinstall hook registers a package-provided daemon for automatic login startup, but the selected platform binary’s behavior remains unresolved.

- **Trigger:** Installing the package runs its postinstall hook; registration is skipped when CI is set or repair-only mode is passed.

- **Impact:** The daemon can run automatically at login; its effects cannot be assessed without the unavailable platform package source.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, install.js, .lpm-dependency-evidence-8e568bc8-835d-47da-9583-b74054a4ca11/0/npm-linux/package.json

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-22T05:47:24.152Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The installer points a per-user startup registration at the platform binary and records its registration details.

- **Rationale:** The inspected source confirms install-time daemon registration, while the platform-specific executable selected by that installer could not be reviewed. Because this unresolved registry dependency is required to assess the daemon’s behavior, the package needs manual review; the available source does not establish malicious activity.

- **Files touched:** package.json, install.js, bin/skill-sync-daemon

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Manual Review

- **Confidence:** 82.0%

- **Recommended action:** manual\_review

- **Intent class:** Unknown

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **AI review observations:** The postinstall hook runs install.js, which registers the package daemon to start at login unless CI or repair-only mode skips registration., The package declares platform-specific aliases of itself as optional dependencies, and the installer uses the platform binary as the daemon executable., The installer records the executable and registration details; the installed daemon’s behavior could not be verified because the selected platform package source was unavailable., The inspected config code selects a local skills directory, but this does not establish what the unavailable daemon does with it.

- **Evidence against:** The source inspected here does not establish credential theft, data exfiltration, destructive behavior, or an attack against agent configuration., Commander, the inspected registry dependency, has no install scripts in its prepared manifest.

## Affected versions and remediation
