Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 20 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:** 20.12.0 - **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. Source inspection found no npm lifecycle hook or concrete attack behavior. The flagged configuration and script behavior is consistent with explicit installer and pipeline operations, so the package is clean. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 87.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-12T00:34:29.802Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-12T00:35:45.528Z - **Download time:** 6866 ms - **Static scan time:** 3080 ms - **AI review time:** 65778 ms - **Total time:** 75726 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 concrete attack surface was identified in the inspected source. The package exposes an explicit installer and pipeline commands, with no npm install lifecycle hook. - **Trigger:** A user invokes the installer or a pipeline command; install telemetry additionally requires MULTI\_AGENT\_TELEMETRY=1. - **Impact:** No unauthorized credential exposure, persistence, destructive behavior, or package-triggered agent control change was established. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-12T00:35:45.528Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The reviewed configuration writes support the package’s Claude, Codex, and pipeline functionality; telemetry is gated by an explicit environment setting. - **Rationale:** Source inspection found no npm lifecycle hook or concrete attack behavior. The flagged configuration and script behavior is consistent with explicit installer and pipeline operations, so the package is clean. - **Files touched:** package.json, install/index.mjs, install/\_unattended-profile.mjs - **Network endpoints:** https://mmerterden.vercel.app/api/install-notify ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 87.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json defines ordinary start, test, and prepack scripts, with no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook; importing or installing the package does not trigger the reviewed installer., Installer behavior is explicit CLI setup for Claude, Copilot, or Codex. The flagged agent configuration changes occur in host-specific setup or pipeline commands., Unattended profile writes are performed by an explicit installer function; they target the tool’s own settings and are not shown to run as an npm lifecycle hook., Telemetry returns unless MULTI\_AGENT\_TELEMETRY is set to 1; its reporting endpoint is package-aligned., The flagged pipeline scripts concern skill discovery, citation checks, usage registration, and localization; inspected excerpts do not establish an attack., The security reference file is guidance about insecure generated iOS code, not an executable payload. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @mmerterden/multi-agent-pipeline@20.12.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @mmerterden/multi-agent-pipeline@20.12.0 before allowing it.
