## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 15 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:** 7.142.0
- **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 npm lifecycle scripts, and the flagged static matches resolve to embedded WebAssembly glue, signed release updating, local permission checks, or scanner ignore patterns. Source inspection found no concrete attack behavior.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 96.0%
- **Started:** 2026-10-17T14:45:03.123Z

- **Total time:** 116941 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 identified in the inspected source. The flagged evaluation and process-execution matches have package-aligned explanations.

- **Trigger:** A user invokes the CLI command; the package manifest declares no install lifecycle scripts.

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

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-17T14:47:00.064Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The evaluation sites are embedded WebAssembly glue, the updater verifies a signed package release, and the signer process call handles local permission checks.

- **Rationale:** The package has no npm lifecycle scripts, and the flagged static matches resolve to embedded WebAssembly glue, signed release updating, local permission checks, or scanner ignore patterns. Source inspection found no concrete attack behavior.

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 96.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json declares no lifecycle scripts and exposes the command-line entrypoint., The executable calls the CLI bootstrap when invoked with arguments., The flagged evaluation sites are embedded Emscripten glue that constructs functions from WebAssembly module strings., The updater checks that it is installing the matching package release and verifies its signed release manifest and integrity., The agent-integration locations are scanner ignore-pattern comments and entries, including a rule for shell snapshots., The process execution in the signer module parses local permission-command output for access-control checks.
