## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 28 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:** 1.1.78
- **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 flagged credential reads support automatic discovery of locally signed-in AI providers, and the visible tokens go to their corresponding provider APIs. Install-time behavior is limited to building; the remaining reviewed downloads, cache writes, and failure telemetry serve runner setup and report only bounded diagnostic fields.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0%
- **Started:** 2026-11-04T17:25:18.591Z
- **Finished:** 2026-11-04T17:26:18.309Z
- **Download time:** 512 ms
- **Static scan time:** 1746 ms
- **AI review time:** 57459 ms
- **Total time:** 59718 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 identified; the reviewed network and process behavior supports local model discovery and runner setup.

- **Trigger:** Provider credential checks and model discovery run when the CLI starts; provisioning and bundle fetches occur as needed for runner setup.

- **Impact:** Expected provider discovery and local runtime setup; no unrelated credential collection or attack behavior was found.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-11-04T17:26:18.309Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Provider tokens are used with their respective provider APIs. The runner token authenticates requests to the configured Melaya service. Python setup downloads uv from its official release host.

- **Rationale:** The flagged credential reads support automatic discovery of locally signed-in AI providers, and the visible tokens go to their corresponding provider APIs. Install-time behavior is limited to building; the remaining reviewed downloads, cache writes, and failure telemetry serve runner setup and report only bounded diagnostic fields.

- **Files touched:** dist/detect.js, dist/installReport.js, dist/uvBootstrap.js, dist/sharedVendor.js

- **Network endpoints:** api.anthropic.com, api.github.com, api.githubcopilot.com, api.melaya.org, github.com

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 94.0%

- **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., Claude model discovery sends the Claude token to api.anthropic.com; GitHub Copilot discovery sends a GitHub token to api.github.com., The CLI calls provider discovery at startup to list available local and signed-in models., Failure reports send a stage, version, platform, architecture, Node version, and bounded detail to the configured runner service., Python provisioning downloads uv from the official github.com/astral-sh release path., The shared runtime bundle is fetched from the configured runner service using the runner token.

## Affected versions and remediation
