## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 17 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:** 0.2.4
- **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 only install-time hook is a local dependency compatibility check, not a persistence or control-surface mutation. The inspected helper behavior is user-invoked tooling rather than an automatic attack path.

## Latest scan

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 surface was identified. The automatic lifecycle action performs a local native SQLite availability check.

- **Trigger:** Package installation triggers the native-install verifier; the PDF helper requires explicit execution.

- **Impact:** No confirmed malicious impact was established.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-26T03:14:13.892Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The verifier loads the optional SQLite module and performs an in-memory query. The helper may install Chromium only after a Playwright launch failure.

- **Rationale:** The only install-time hook is a local dependency compatibility check, not a persistence or control-surface mutation. The inspected helper behavior is user-invoked tooling rather than an automatic attack path.

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 82.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The package declares the mcode command-line entrypoint and identifies itself as a terminal coding agent., Its postinstall hook runs only the bundled native-install verifier., The required PDF helper launches Playwright and only attempts a Chromium install after its own launch fails.

- **Evidence against:** No credential harvesting, unrelated exfiltration, destructive action, or foreign agent-control mutation was identified in the inspected lifecycle code., The large CLI bundle contains product networking and agent functionality, but no concrete malicious path was established by static inspection.
