## Verdict summary
**Blocked & quarantined** — A party controlling the allowed download host can cause arbitrary code execution during npm installation.

- **Verdict:** Malicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Block
- **Firewall policy:** Matched malicious
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Remote Code Execution
- **Selected version:** 1.0.4
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

Installation fetches a remote runtime manifest and archive, then extracts and executes that runtime. The remote manifest supplies the expected hash, so the bundled package does not independently authenticate the payload.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Installation fetches a remote runtime manifest and archive, then extracts and executes that runtime. The remote manifest supplies the expected hash, so the bundled package does not independently authenticate the payload.

- **Trigger:** npm postinstall

- **Impact:** A party controlling the allowed download host can cause arbitrary code execution during npm installation.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/postinstall.cjs, runtime-manifest.json

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-21T02:13:14.230Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** remote payload download, extraction, and smoke-test execution

- **Attack narrative:** On npm installation, postinstall bootstraps a platform runtime. It prefers a remote manifest from the vendor host, which supplies both archive URL and SHA-256. The package downloads and extracts that archive into ~/.lemonclaw-cli, then invokes its Python interpreter for a smoke test. Host restriction and hash verification do not authenticate a payload independently of the remote manifest; a compromised allowed host can provide matching malicious bytes and hash for immediate install-time execution.

- **Rationale:** This is a remote-code bootstrap executed automatically at install time, with trust rooted solely in a remotely served manifest. It creates a concrete install-time arbitrary-code-execution supply-chain surface.

- **Files touched:** package.json, dist/postinstall.cjs, runtime-manifest.json, ~/.lemonclaw-cli

- **Network endpoints:** https://download.ningmengyun.com/Skills/lemonclaw/runtime-manifest.json, download.ningmengyun.com

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 94.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** npm postinstall invokes runtime bootstrap., Bootstrap prefers an unsigned remote manifest and accepts its archive hash., It downloads, extracts, and executes the remote Python runtime during installation.

- **Evidence against:** Downloads are HTTPS-host-restricted to download.ningmengyun.com., Archive size and SHA-256 are checked against manifest values.

## Public findings

### 1. High: Install Time Lifecycle Scripts
- **Category:** Manifest

- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 80.0%

Package manifest does not declare a clear license.

### 11. High: Ai Review Evidence
- **Category:** Ai Review
- **Confidence:** 94.0%
- **Path:** dist/postinstall.cjs
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@lemonbeijing/lemonclaw-cli@1.0.4/dist/postinstall.cjs>)

Bootstrap prefers an unsigned remote manifest and accepts its archive hash.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
var MANIFEST_PATH = path.join(__dirname, "..", "runtime-manifest.json");
    var DEFAULT_REMOTE_MANIFEST_URL = "https://download.ningmengyun.com/Skills/lemonclaw/runtime-manifest.json";
    var DEFAULT_MANIFEST_TIMEOUT_MS = MANIFEST_TIMEOUT_MS;
    var MAX_MANIFEST_BYTES = 1024 * 1024;
    var TRUSTED_RUNTIME_HOSTS = Object.freeze(["download.ningmengyun.com"]);
```

### 12. High: Ai Review Evidence
- **Category:** Ai Review
- **Confidence:** 94.0%
- **Path:** dist/postinstall.cjs
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@lemonbeijing/lemonclaw-cli@1.0.4/dist/postinstall.cjs>)

It downloads, extracts, and executes the remote Python runtime during installation.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
fs.mkdirSync(staging, { recursive: true });
      try {
        await extractArchive(archive, staging, { deadline });
        smokeTestRuntime(staging, { runtimeVersion: manifest.runtimeVersion, target }, { deadline });
