## Verdict summary
**Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 17 finding(s) warrant review before installing.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Telemetry warning (can be blocked)
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Telemetry
- **Selected version:** 0.0.175
- **Selected version is latest:** Yes
- **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: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

The web app automatically sends signup identities and organization details to an internal Slack channel, and periodically sends signup rollups. This is suspicious runtime telemetry because the inspected source does not disclose this collection or offer a user choice; no credential exfiltration or install-time attack was identified.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** The web app sends identifying signup details to a Slack channel for internal notifications; this is suspicious runtime data collection.

- **Trigger:** A user signs up or joins an organization, or the web app’s hourly signup rollup runs.

- **Impact:** Signup details are disclosed to the app operator’s Slack workspace without clear disclosure or user choice in the inspected source.

- **Evidence paths:** src/web/app.ts

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-11-03T04:32:08.586Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The app posts signup names, emails, domains, and organization names to Slack using SIGNUP\_SLACK\_BOT\_TOKEN.

- **Rationale:** The web app automatically sends signup identities and organization details to an internal Slack channel, and periodically sends signup rollups. This is suspicious runtime telemetry because the inspected source does not disclose this collection or offer a user choice; no credential exfiltration or install-time attack was identified.

- **Network endpoints:** https://slack.com/api/chat.postMessage

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 88.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Unknown

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** Signup and plan notifications include users’ names, email addresses, organization names, and domains, and are sent to Slack., The signup notification runs automatically after account creation; the source labels it a notification to the internal team., The web app starts an hourly signup rollup that sends recent signup details to Slack.

- **Evidence against:** The manifest has no install lifecycle scripts; the Slack behavior is in the web app, not an install hook., The package describes session streaming to Slack as a core feature, and uses a configured Slack bot token for notifications.
