Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 31 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:** 0.5.5 - **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 postinstall hook and the two agent-configuration hints behave like a local SQLite install check and normal coding-agent file reads, with no self-install chain. A clean decision still cannot be issued because twelve required citation paths exceed the eight-citation cap, so the review stays unresolved. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Manual Review - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 62.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-26T05:59:50.309Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-26T06:01:17.332Z - **Download time:** 1779 ms - **Static scan time:** 29254 ms - **AI review time:** 55988 ms - **Total time:** 87023 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:** Inspected install and agent-hint code does not show a concrete attack. A clean verdict cannot be published because the required citation set is larger than the citation limit. - **Trigger:** No install-time or import-time attack trigger was established. The postinstall script runs only the native SQLite compatibility check. - **Impact:** No confirmed compromise, credential theft, or unconsented agent-control write was established from the inspected entry points. Remaining required files were not fully cited. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-26T06:01:17.332Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The check validates the local Node and glibc environment and loads optional better-sqlite3 for an in-memory query. Agent filename and Codex session reads are ordinary product helpers, not an install mutation. - **Rationale:** The postinstall hook and the two agent-configuration hints behave like a local SQLite install check and normal coding-agent file reads, with no self-install chain. A clean decision still cannot be issued because twelve required citation paths exceed the eight-citation cap, so the review stays unresolved. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Manual Review - **Confidence:** 62.0% - **Recommended action:** manual\_review - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **AI review observations:** package.json defines one lifecycle script, postinstall, which runs node ./verify-native-install.mjs., That verifier, when launched as the process entry, checks the Node and glibc range and smoke-tests optional better-sqlite3 with an in-memory query., Declared dependencies are @mariozechner/clipboard and @vscode/ripgrep, not this package name., In chunks/chunk-S6GSNWAM.js the names AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md are members of a read-tool filename set that uses readFile and access., The Codex helper in chunks/launcher-GHPADSKI.js joins CODEX\_HOME or ~/.codex/sessions and returns if those directory reads fail., Twelve paths are required for a clean citation record and this review allows at most eight citations, so a mark\_clean result cannot be finalized. - **Evidence against:** The postinstall path prints a compatibility result or an install hint and does not write agent configuration or transmit credentials., The signed updater downloads a release and runs npm install only inside an explicit apply path after signature and checksum checks. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @minimax-ai/code@0.5.5. - Review the evidence and your use of @minimax-ai/code@0.5.5 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.
