## 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:** 0.318.5
- **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.

Source inspection found no install-time attack or fixed unofficial credential gateway. Telemetry is opt-in and uses the selected Lotics API endpoint; subprocess use is tied to CLI build operations.

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

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. The flagged telemetry and subprocess behavior have explicit opt-in or user-invoked CLI contexts.

- **Trigger:** Telemetry requires LOTICS\_TELEMETRY=1 and runs during CLI use; build subprocesses run as part of CLI build operations.

- **Impact:** The inspected behavior does not establish credential theft, command-output exfiltration, or another concrete attack.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-27T13:29:50.839Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Opt-in telemetry sends CLI events to the selected Lotics API URL. The inspected npm subprocess uses arguments written by the CLI.

- **Rationale:** Source inspection found no install-time attack or fixed unofficial credential gateway. Telemetry is opt-in and uses the selected Lotics API endpoint; subprocess use is tied to CLI build operations.

- **Network endpoints:** https://api.lotics.ai/v1/cli/telemetry

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 95.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The package exposes its CLI through dist/src/cli.js and its client through dist/src/client.js; its only lifecycle hook is prepublishOnly, which runs the build., Telemetry requires LOTICS\_TELEMETRY=1. When enabled, it posts CLI events to the selected API URL; the default is Lotics’ API., The authenticated telemetry caller supplies the same API URL and key used for the CLI context., The npm subprocess is used for CLI build operations, with arguments written by the CLI.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @lotics/cli@0.318.5.

- Review the evidence and your use of @lotics/cli@0.318.5 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report.
