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. 19 low-signal pattern(s) reviewed. - **Verdict:** Manual Review - **Product-default install policy:** Allow - **Firewall policy:** No policy match - **Public report status:** Under Review - **Threat category:** Unknown - **Selected version:** 0.78.0 - **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: manual review; recommendation: manual review. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The inspected code shows no concrete attack, and the agent skill location is a per-agent content store reached through an API route. I cannot mark the package clean because generated bundles and runtime files remain unresolved after attempted source inspection; the scanner hints alone do not establish malicious behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Manual Review - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 63.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-19T11:09:33.203Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-19T11:11:08.870Z - **Download time:** 2542 ms - **Static scan time:** 2718 ms - **AI review time:** 90405 ms - **Total time:** 95667 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. The review remains unresolved because generated browser bundles and runtime code with incomplete semantic analysis were not fully assessed. - **Trigger:** No malicious trigger was confirmed in the inspected excerpts. - **Impact:** No concrete malicious impact was established; the unresolved source prevents a clean determination. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-19T11:11:08.870Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Inspected behavior includes user-facing workflow, workspace, event, and agent-skill operations; remaining flagged source behavior is unresolved. - **Rationale:** The inspected code shows no concrete attack, and the agent skill location is a per-agent content store reached through an API route. I cannot mark the package clean because generated bundles and runtime files remain unresolved after attempted source inspection; the scanner hints alone do not establish malicious behavior. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Manual Review - **Confidence:** 63.0% - **Recommended action:** manual\_review - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **AI review observations:** The manifest’s only lifecycle-related script is prepublishOnly, which builds the package; it declares no install hook., The indicated skill code scans project and user skill directories, while saving skills writes supplied content under an agent-specific skills path through the agents API route., The live client constructs event URLs for chat or vibeable topics, and listRuns reads workflow run directories., The inspected Git, shell, loopback HTTP, and npx operations support remote workspace resolution, configured development servers, daemon status, and workflow launches., The required review remains inconclusive: generated browser bundles and multiple runtime files have unresolved scanner analysis limits, without source evidence establishing an attack. - **Evidence against:** No install-time attack or confirmed malicious effect was established in the inspected excerpts., The indicated skill save path is exposed through an API route and writes supplied skill content; the inspected source does not establish an unconsented global agent configuration change. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @netnodeag/kraftwerk@0.78.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @netnodeag/kraftwerk@0.78.0 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.
