## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 15 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:** 0.318.3
- **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 reported network and credential signals map to the CLI’s opt-in diagnostics and ordinary authenticated API requests. The manifest’s only lifecycle script is prepublishOnly, which runs the build.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 95.0%

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 surface was identified. The manifest has no install hook, and CLI telemetry is opt-in and tied to the configured Lotics API.

- **Trigger:** Telemetry requires LOTICS\_TELEMETRY=1; package installation does not activate it.

- **Impact:** No unrelated credential transfer or host fingerprinting was established.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-27T12:00:36.041Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** When enabled, the CLI batches invocation metadata and failure text for the configured API’s telemetry endpoint using its normal API authentication.

- **Rationale:** The reported network and credential signals map to the CLI’s opt-in diagnostics and ordinary authenticated API requests. The manifest’s only lifecycle script is prepublishOnly, which runs the build.

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

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 95.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json exposes the CLI and client; its only lifecycle hook is prepublishOnly, which runs the build., Telemetry is disabled unless LOTICS\_TELEMETRY is set to 1., Telemetry records command metadata and, on failures, captured CLI error text; tool arguments are represented by a hash and shape., When enabled, telemetry posts to the configured API’s telemetry endpoint with the API key used by the CLI; the default API is api.lotics.ai., The CLI startup installs telemetry through the guarded telemetry path.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @lotics/cli@0.318.3.

- Review the evidence and your use of @lotics/cli@0.318.3 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report.
