## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 18 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:** 0.318.38
- **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 has no install-time hook, and the flagged runtime telemetry is explicitly opt-in and documented. The reviewed network and process-execution behavior fits the CLI’s Lotics service, update-check, and user-requested app-build functions.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 96.0%
- **Started:** 2026-11-04T03:30:25.023Z
- **Finished:** 2026-11-04T03:31:45.535Z
- **Download time:** 518 ms
- **Static scan time:** 2484 ms
- **AI review time:** 77509 ms
- **Total time:** 80512 ms

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. The CLI makes normal Lotics service requests and offers documented, opt-in telemetry.

- **Trigger:** Telemetry runs only when \`LOTICS\_TELEMETRY=1\`; ordinary CLI commands use the configured Lotics API.

- **Impact:** No unauthorized credential theft, unrelated data collection, or harmful automatic action was found.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-11-04T03:31:45.535Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** When enabled, telemetry records command metadata and failure messages, plus argument hashes and shapes, then sends batches to the same configured Lotics API.

- **Rationale:** The manifest has no install-time hook, and the flagged runtime telemetry is explicitly opt-in and documented. The reviewed network and process-execution behavior fits the CLI’s Lotics service, update-check, and user-requested app-build functions.

- **Files touched:** ~/.lotics/config.json, ~/.lotics/telemetry-\<host\>.ndjson

- **Network endpoints:** https://api.lotics.ai, https://registry.npmjs.org/@lotics/cli/latest

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 96.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The only lifecycle script is \`prepublishOnly\`, which runs the build; no install hook is declared., Runtime telemetry is gated on \`LOTICS\_TELEMETRY=1\` and is off by default., The README describes telemetry fields and says arguments contribute a hash and shape, not their values or file contents., Telemetry posts to the configured Lotics API, which defaults to \`https://api.lotics.ai\`.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @lotics/cli@0.318.38.

- Review the evidence and your use of @lotics/cli@0.318.38 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report.
