## Verdict summary
**Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 12 finding(s) warrant review before installing.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Matched warn-list
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Staged Payload Carrier
- **Selected version:** 1.14.50-202609221556
- **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.

Installation stages an opaque platform archive from a remote endpoint with certificate validation disabled. The launcher later executes the staged binary when the user invokes onecode.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Installation stages an opaque platform archive from a remote endpoint with certificate validation disabled. The launcher later executes the staged binary when the user invokes onecode.

- **Trigger:** npm postinstall downloads and extracts the archive; invoking the onecode command launches its binary.

- **Impact:** A network or configured-endpoint attacker could supply a platform payload that is installed and later executed; no confirmed credential theft or automatic binary execution was identified.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, postinstall.mjs, platform-bootstrap.mjs, bin/onecode

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-22T10:11:12.954Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The bootstrap accepts an environment-configured download base, follows redirects, disables TLS verification, extracts the result, and the launcher spawns the resulting executable.

- **Rationale:** The package creates a real install-time remote-payload staging path with weakened transport validation and an executable launcher. Static source inspection does not establish a completed malicious payload or a block-eligible attack.

- **Files touched:** node\_modules, .platform-bootstrap-work

- **Network endpoints:** https://218.90.133.98:4443/onecode\_tgz

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 94.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for warning:** The package runs postinstall automatically., The postinstall entrypoint invokes the platform bootstrap., The bootstrap downloads an archive from a hard-coded IP endpoint or an environment override and disables TLS certificate validation., The downloaded archive is extracted during installation., The command-line launcher spawns the selected downloaded platform binary.

- **Evidence against:** No source files besides the installer, bootstrap, and launcher are present., The inspected JavaScript contains no credential harvesting or data-upload logic.
