Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## 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:** 17.6.0 - **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 package has no install lifecycle hook, and the inspected telemetry is gated or part of explicit product setup and reporting flows. The named agent-integration locations show host-specific paths and ordinary local tooling rather than a concrete unconsented control-surface attack. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 92.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-19T13:05:30.741Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-19T13:07:12.035Z - **Download time:** 1009 ms - **Static scan time:** 1777 ms - **AI review time:** 98506 ms - **Total time:** 101294 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:** Static source inspection found no confirmed attack surface. The reviewed network behavior supports the package’s installer and operational-reporting functions. - **Trigger:** Install telemetry requires an explicit environment opt-in; operational registration is invoked by setup or runtime reporting flows. - **Impact:** No malicious effect was established. Reporting can associate a user identifier and hostname with the package’s intended operational metrics. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-19T13:07:12.035Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The installer sends package and runtime metadata to its publisher endpoint. Registration requests a reporting token using a user identifier and shortened hostname; the inspected request does not send project content or saved credentials. - **Rationale:** The package has no install lifecycle hook, and the inspected telemetry is gated or part of explicit product setup and reporting flows. The named agent-integration locations show host-specific paths and ordinary local tooling rather than a concrete unconsented control-surface attack. - **Network endpoints:** https://mmerterden.vercel.app/api/install-notify, https://mmerterden.com/api/usage/ingest ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 92.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json declares CLI entrypoints and development scripts, with no npm lifecycle hook or runtime self-dependency., Installer telemetry runs after the explicit install command and sends only when MULTI\_AGENT\_TELEMETRY is set to 1; its payload contains package and runtime metadata., Usage registration requests a token from the package’s reporting endpoint using the GitHub login or local username and a shortened hostname; setup describes the registration step, and an opt-out is checked., The indicated agent-integration locations resolve to plugin-cache lookup, host-specific install paths, local autopilot and doctor paths, graph output, citation validation, and companion MCP registration; they do not establish an unconsented broad agent-control mutation. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @mmerterden/multi-agent-pipeline@17.6.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @mmerterden/multi-agent-pipeline@17.6.0 before allowing it.
