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. 34 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:** 20.25.1 - **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 install lifecycle hook or concrete attack behavior. The flagged setup and reporting paths have explicit activation gates, so the scanner similarity hints do not support a malicious verdict. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 92.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-19T13:17:45.729Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-19T13:19:42.568Z - **Download time:** 3295 ms - **Static scan time:** 3392 ms - **AI review time:** 110150 ms - **Total time:** 116839 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 attack surface was identified in the inspected source. - **Trigger:** Setup is started through the package CLI; install telemetry requires an explicit opt-in switch, and operational reporting requires reporting to be enabled. - **Impact:** No concrete malicious impact was identified. Reporting can send installation or version metadata when enabled. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-19T13:19:42.568Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The installer handles host-specific pipeline files and agent settings. The inspected code did not establish unrequested credential transfer, account actions, or broad control-surface mutation. - **Rationale:** Source inspection found no npm install lifecycle hook or concrete attack behavior. The flagged setup and reporting paths have explicit activation gates, so the scanner similarity hints do not support a malicious verdict. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 92.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The package manifest exposes a CLI and lists development, test, and prepack scripts; it has no npm install lifecycle hook., The inspected agent integration code handles host-specific cache and settings paths, installation directories, version stamps, preferences, and plugin registry checks., The highlighted pipeline files cover defined setup and development operations; inspected source did not establish an unrequested account action, credential transfer, or malicious payload., Install telemetry requires an explicit opt-in switch. Lifecycle reporting is gated by operational reporting settings, an allowed endpoint, and a resolved token. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @mmerterden/multi-agent-pipeline@20.25.1. - Review the evidence and your use of @mmerterden/multi-agent-pipeline@20.25.1 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.
