## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 14 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:** 0.17.20
- **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 manifest has no install-time execution hook, and the inspected runtime behavior is consistent with the package’s CLI features. The scanner signals do not establish unconsented configuration changes, credential exfiltration, or another attack.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0%
- **Started:** 2026-10-18T13:02:00.477Z
- **Finished:** 2026-10-18T13:02:55.698Z

- **Static scan time:** 1865 ms
- **AI review time:** 52062 ms
- **Total time:** 55221 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 attack surface was established from the inspected source. The flagged configuration and process behavior is tied to CLI use or user-provided settings.

- **Trigger:** The agent launcher, statusline, update, OAuth, and proxy functionality runs when invoked by the user or the coding-agent CLI.

- **Impact:** No concrete malicious effect was identified.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-18T13:02:55.698Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** The inspected code reads statusline settings, conditionally updates the CLI in auto mode, opens the OAuth URL without a shell, and creates a local proxy certificate.

- **Rationale:** The manifest has no install-time execution hook, and the inspected runtime behavior is consistent with the package’s CLI features. The scanner signals do not establish unconsented configuration changes, credential exfiltration, or another attack.

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 88.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json defines prepublishOnly as a build command and has no install lifecycle hook., Agent setup is entered through the explicit mnemom agent command; statusline configuration is read from settings files., Slack channel code formats inbox messages for delivery to the agent session., Automatic version upgrades require auto mode, a valid stable version, and an update-capable install., OAuth opens a browser without a shell; the RC proxy uses OpenSSL to create its local certificate., The agent-goal module describes injected dependencies and imports session-reading functionality.
