## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 21 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:** 0.8.13
- **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 flagged worker matches are consistent with bundled Claude Code functionality, and no install hook or confirmed attack was found. The native resource-monitor executable could not be analyzed, leaving its behavior unresolved.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Manual Review
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 63.0%

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 concrete attack was identified in the inspected JavaScript. The native resource-monitor executable remains unresolved.

- **Trigger:** The CLI exposes explicit commands, but the native executable's activation was not resolved.

- **Impact:** No confirmed malicious effect; the unresolved executable prevents ruling out risk.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-17T18:10:12.748Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Inspected source shows ordinary CLI dispatch and Claude configuration lookup; available analysis did not establish the native executable's behavior.

- **Rationale:** The flagged worker matches are consistent with bundled Claude Code functionality, and no install hook or confirmed attack was found. The native resource-monitor executable could not be analyzed, leaving its behavior unresolved.

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Manual Review

- **Confidence:** 63.0%

- **Recommended action:** manual\_review

- **Intent class:** Unknown

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **AI review observations:** package.json exposes a CLI and declares no lifecycle scripts., The flagged Claude config code reads CLAUDE\_CONFIG\_DIR and defaults to the user's .claude directory., P4 describes its MCP registry as P4-owned and says provider configuration is imported., The dynamic-code match only probes whether the runtime permits Function construction., The CLI dispatches explicit ACP commands to a bridge; the Claude worker accepts caller-provided execution options.

- **Evidence against:** The package includes a native executable resource monitor whose behavior could not be resolved by the available artifact analysis.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @p4code/cli@0.8.13.

- Review the evidence and your use of @p4code/cli@0.8.13 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.
