Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 27 finding(s) warrant review before installing. - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Product-default install policy:** Warn - **Firewall policy:** Matched warn-list - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Staged Payload Carrier - **Selected version:** 0.3.9 - **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: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The inspected source does not establish malicious behavior, but complete static coverage is blocked by the opaque compressed catalog and large generated artifacts. Downgrade to a warning rather than treating the package as clean. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 72.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-07T15:40:12.622Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-07T15:43:28.329Z - **Download time:** 1516 ms - **Static scan time:** 11048 ms - **AI review time:** 183141 ms - **Total time:** 195707 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 confirmed malicious attack surface was established. The compressed catalog is opaque to source review, so it remains an unresolved inert-payload risk. - **Trigger:** Package installation runs the native verifier; the PDF helper runs only when explicitly executed. - **Impact:** No concrete harmful effect was demonstrated; opaque packaged data prevents a clean verdict. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, configs/models-dev-catalog.json.gz - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-07T15:43:28.329Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Install-time native dependency verification and user-invoked browser setup. - **Rationale:** The inspected source does not establish malicious behavior, but complete static coverage is blocked by the opaque compressed catalog and large generated artifacts. Downgrade to a warning rather than treating the package as clean. - **Files touched:** package.json, verify-native-install.mjs, configs/models-dev-catalog.json.gz, assets/skills/pdf/scripts/render\_html.cjs ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 72.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** Installation runs a verifier, and the package ships a compressed configuration catalog that cannot be meaningfully source-audited., An explicit PDF rendering helper can invoke npm and npx to install Chromium. - **Evidence against:** The postinstall hook only starts the local verifier; its source performs an in-memory SQLite smoke test., No self-dependency, credential theft, exfiltration, destructive action, or agent-control-surface mutation was found in the inspected entrypoints., The npm and npx invocation is in a user-run PDF helper, not the install hook. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @minimax-ai/code@0.3.9. - Review the evidence and your use of @minimax-ai/code@0.3.9 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
