- **Threat category:** None published
- **Selected version:** 1.1.16
- **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 concrete attack behavior. Saved Claude credentials are used for model discovery through Anthropic’s API, and the reviewed subprocess and browser code supports runner features.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** No concrete attack behavior was identified in the inspected source. The reviewed credential lookup, network request, subprocess, and browser code align with the runner’s model discovery and user-directed execution features.

- **Trigger:** The CLI starts when a user supplies a runner token; model discovery runs during startup, and login or browser actions are initiated through runner features.

- **Impact:** The inspected behavior does not establish disclosure to an unrelated recipient or another concrete attack.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-23T16:14:25.349Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Claude model discovery reads a saved token and uses it for a request to Anthropic’s model API. Codex discovery checks login status, while the other inspected files support runner execution, browser setup, and login flows.

- **Rationale:** Source inspection found no concrete attack behavior. Saved Claude credentials are used for model discovery through Anthropic’s API, and the reviewed subprocess and browser code supports runner features.

- **Files touched:** package.json, dist/detect.js, dist/cli.js, dist/connection.js, dist/linkedinLogin.js, dist/pythonEnv.js, dist/codeWorker.js, dist/lumaLogin.js, dist/browserProvisioner.js, dist/browserAuthz.js, .lpm-dependency-evidence-5251968c-199c-4680-bc8a-ae1ea8010ab7/0/npm-linux/package.json, .lpm-dependency-evidence-5251968c-199c-4680-bc8a-ae1ea8010ab7/0/npm-linux/source/index.js, .lpm-dependency-evidence-5251968c-199c-4680-bc8a-ae1ea8010ab7/1/npm-linux/package.json, .lpm-dependency-evidence-5251968c-199c-4680-bc8a-ae1ea8010ab7/1/npm-linux/esm.mjs, .lpm-dependency-evidence-5251968c-199c-4680-bc8a-ae1ea8010ab7/2/npm-linux/package.json, .lpm-dependency-evidence-5251968c-199c-4680-bc8a-ae1ea8010ab7/2/npm-linux/index.js

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 88.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest exposes a CLI and a prepublish-only build hook, with no install lifecycle hook., The CLI requires a runner token; its model discovery calls read local Claude and Codex login data., Claude model discovery sends the saved Claude token to Anthropic’s model endpoint; Codex discovery only checks whether credentials are present., The inspected runtime files describe user-directed account login, browser provisioning, dedicated Python setup, and isolated code execution., The inspected dependency excerpts show terminal formatting, command-line parsing, and spinner code.
