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

- **Verdict:** Manual Review
- **Product-default install policy:** Allow
- **Firewall policy:** No policy match
- **Public report status:** Under Review
- **Threat category:** Unknown
- **Selected version:** 1.1.54
- **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: manual review; recommendation: manual review. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

The inspected credential-discovery callers and runner connection behavior do not establish a concrete attack. The Luma browser bridge remains unresolved after bounded inspection, so the source evidence does not support a clean verdict.

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 is confirmed from the inspected source. The unresolved Luma browser bridge handles saved browser session state, and its full request flow was not resolved.

- **Trigger:** The runner starts with saved Luma browser state available.

- **Impact:** The available evidence does not establish credential disclosure or another attack, but does not resolve the bridge behavior sufficiently to clear it.

- **Evidence paths:** dist/lumaBrowserBridge.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-23T16:15:47.953Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The bridge loads that state into a browser context and exposes a local interface to a pipeline; the full request handling remains unresolved.

- **Rationale:** The inspected credential-discovery callers and runner connection behavior do not establish a concrete attack. The Luma browser bridge remains unresolved after bounded inspection, so the source evidence does not support a clean verdict.

- **Files touched:** dist/lumaBrowserBridge.js

- **Network endpoints:** 127.0.0.1

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Manual Review

- **Confidence:** 62.0%

- **Recommended action:** manual\_review

- **Intent class:** Unknown

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **AI review observations:** The manifest exposes a command-line runner and uses prepublishOnly only to build the package., Provider detection reads saved Claude and Codex credentials and invokes provider detection from the CLI; the inspected callers do not show those values being sent to an unrelated recipient., The connection code passes tool and approval settings into the runner environment, and browser authorization code contains private-address classification., The inspected browser bridge describes loading saved Luma browser session state; its full behavior remains unresolved.

- **Evidence against:** Static analysis reported an alias-growth limit in the Luma browser bridge, and the inspected excerpts do not resolve its complete request flow or recipients.

## Affected versions and remediation
