## 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:** 0.17.1
- **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.

The high-risk primitives are consistent with an explicitly invoked workflow-orchestration CLI and have no install-time trigger. Static inspection found no concrete malicious behavior or self-dependency chain.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0%
- **Started:** 2026-09-08T12:03:16.568Z
- **Finished:** 2026-09-08T12:04:13.481Z

- **Static scan time:** 615 ms
- **AI review time:** 55786 ms
- **Total time:** 56913 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 malicious install or import-time attack surface exists. The package performs powerful agent, Docker, and remote-git operations only when its workflow commands or inspector are used.

- **Trigger:** A user starts a workflow, uses the inspector, selects Docker sandboxing, or supplies a remote workflow source.

- **Impact:** User-selected workflows may run local AI agents with the permissions and environment the user provides; no covert package-originated exfiltration or persistence was found.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-08T12:04:13.481Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** User-invoked workflow orchestration through local CLIs, Docker, and git.

- **Rationale:** The high-risk primitives are consistent with an explicitly invoked workflow-orchestration CLI and have no install-time trigger. Static inspection found no concrete malicious behavior or self-dependency chain.

- **Files touched:** .cache/kraftwerk/remotes, \<project\>/output/runs/\<runId\>, \<project\>/runner.env

- **Network endpoints:** https://registry.npmjs.org/${name}/latest, https://github.com/${orgRepo}.git

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 91.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The package provides a workflow runner that can invoke local AI-agent CLIs with workspace-write access., Its inspector can start a detached npx workflow run in the selected project., Optional Docker mode passes declared API-key environment variables into a container and can mount an SSH agent when explicitly requested., Remote workflow sources are cloned or refreshed with git into a user cache.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has only a prepublishOnly hook, so registry installation has no automatic lifecycle execution., The npx and Docker actions are reached through runtime CLI or inspector workflow triggers, not import or install., No credential harvesting, secret exfiltration, hidden downloader, eval, or reviewer-directed text was found in the inspected source., The npm-registry request is a bounded version check in the explicit doctor command.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @netnodeag/kraftwerk@0.17.1.

- Review the evidence and your use of @netnodeag/kraftwerk@0.17.1 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.
