Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 16 finding(s) warrant review before installing. - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Product-default install policy:** Warn - **Firewall policy:** Matched warn-list - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Dependency Confusion - **Selected version:** 0.45.1 - **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: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. No malicious install lifecycle or exfiltration was found, but the unscoped npx launcher creates a concrete unresolved dependency-confusion execution path. This warrants a warning until it invokes the scoped package or its own resolved executable. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-08T16:22:21.662Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-08T16:23:48.941Z - **Download time:** 1033 ms - **Static scan time:** 1892 ms - **AI review time:** 84352 ms - **Total time:** 87279 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:** The inspector can invoke an unscoped npx package from the consumer project. If no local \`kraftwerk\` executable resolves first, npx may fetch and execute an unrelated registry package. - **Trigger:** A user starts a workflow through the inspector UI. - **Impact:** A registry package named \`kraftwerk\` could execute with the consumer project's working directory and inherited environment. - **Evidence paths:** dist/inspector/runner.js, dist/inspector/server.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-08T16:23:48.941Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Unscoped npx execution in the consumer project. - **Rationale:** No malicious install lifecycle or exfiltration was found, but the unscoped npx launcher creates a concrete unresolved dependency-confusion execution path. This warrants a warning until it invokes the scoped package or its own resolved executable. - **Files touched:** dist/inspector/runner.js, output/runs/\/trigger.log ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Critical Vulnerability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** The inspector launches \`npx kraftwerk run\` without the package scope from the consumer project., A UI POST request reaches that launcher, so an absent local binary can cause npx to resolve and execute an unrelated registry package., This differs from the package's own fallback, which correctly uses \`@netnodeag/kraftwerk\`. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook; its only lifecycle script is prepublishOnly., No credential harvesting, secret exfiltration, or covert network request was found in the inspected execution paths., Most process execution is part of explicit workflow, Docker, agent-harness, or UI actions. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @netnodeag/kraftwerk@0.45.1. - Review the evidence and your use of @netnodeag/kraftwerk@0.45.1 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.
