## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 17 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:** 0.0.94
- **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 required CLI source could not be read normally because it contains NUL bytes, leaving credential and agent-integration behavior unresolved despite readable benign context elsewhere. The package has no install hook, and the inspected audit and web API code do not establish malicious behavior; manual review is warranted due to the unreadable critical source.

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:** The package contains a CLI source file with NUL bytes that prevented full inspection. Its credential migration and Claude configuration behavior could not be traced far enough to establish a concrete attack.

- **Trigger:** Invoking the Polaris CLI may activate the uninspected behavior.

- **Impact:** Potential credential forwarding or agent configuration changes cannot be confirmed from the inspected source.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-07T02:21:06.409Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The readable excerpt shows legacy credential loading and migration; the remaining CLI behavior is unresolved.

- **Rationale:** The required CLI source could not be read normally because it contains NUL bytes, leaving credential and agent-integration behavior unresolved despite readable benign context elsewhere. The package has no install hook, and the inspected audit and web API code do not establish malicious behavior; manual review is warranted due to the unreadable critical source.

- **Files touched:** src/cli/cli.ts

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Manual Review

- **Confidence:** 94.0%

- **Recommended action:** manual\_review

- **Intent class:** Unknown

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **AI review observations:** The manifest exposes CLI binaries and declares no install lifecycle hook., The CLI source reads legacy credentials and migrates them into profiles, but the file contains NUL bytes and its behavior could not be fully inspected., The performance audit runs package-manager commands only when invoked as an audit script; the inspected calls build CSS and run Lighthouse., The web app uses a configurable Polaris API base and sends bearer tokens to that API for session data.

- **Evidence against:** The CLI source is unreadable through the package reader because it contains NUL bytes; relevant credential forwarding and agent integration behavior remain unresolved., The package exposes a CLI that targets the user's Claude configuration directory, and the required behavior could not be traced through its caller, consent, and configuration writes.

## Affected versions and remediation
