## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 16 low-signal pattern(s) reviewed.

- **Verdict:** Clean
- **Product-default install policy:** Allow
- **Firewall policy:** No policy match
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** None published
- **Selected version:** 0.316.21
- **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: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

The manifest and inspected entrypoint support normal CLI and client functionality. Scanner signals for host collection, credential redirection, and command-output exfiltration were not substantiated by the inspected source; the observed telemetry is opt-in and Lotics-directed.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0%

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 attack was identified in the inspected source. Telemetry is opt-in and targets the configured Lotics API; the observed process launches support app setup and builds.

- **Trigger:** Telemetry requires LOTICS\_TELEMETRY=1; app setup or build commands invoke the inspected npm processes.

- **Impact:** No confirmed malicious effect or attack surface was established.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-23T15:14:28.281Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Telemetry sends events to the Lotics API, while the observed child processes check npm or run npm commands.

- **Rationale:** The manifest and inspected entrypoint support normal CLI and client functionality. Scanner signals for host collection, credential redirection, and command-output exfiltration were not substantiated by the inspected source; the observed telemetry is opt-in and Lotics-directed.

- **Files touched:** package.json, dist/src/cli.js

- **Network endpoints:** https://api.lotics.ai

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 88.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json exposes the CLI and client entrypoints; its only publish lifecycle hook runs a build., dist/src/cli.js enables telemetry only when LOTICS\_TELEMETRY is set to "1" and posts events to the configured Lotics API., The inspected child-process calls run npm version checks or npm commands for app setup and builds.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @lotics/cli@0.316.21.

- Review the evidence and your use of @lotics/cli@0.316.21 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.
