> **Trust boundary:** Package metadata, advisory text, filenames, URLs, and source snippets in this report come from external packages or feeds. 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. 20 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:** 0.8.18
- **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 manifest has no install lifecycle hooks, and inspected CLI and worker code ties the flagged behavior to session operations. The scanner’s dynamic-code and socket indicators resolve to a capability probe and WebSocket handling; no concrete attack behavior was found.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 80.0%
- **Started:** 2026-10-18T07:28:50.521Z
- **Finished:** 2026-10-18T07:31:07.470Z

- **Total time:** 136949 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 attack was identified in the inspected package source. The flagged worker is reached through a CLI command for Claude session operations.

- **Trigger:** A user invokes the CLI or requests a Claude session history operation.

- **Impact:** No confirmed malicious effect or unauthorized credential transfer was established.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-18T07:31:07.470Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The worker retrieves or forks session data and returns a JSON result; the inspected configuration helper compares paths and validates a project directory name.

- **Rationale:** The manifest has no install lifecycle hooks, and inspected CLI and worker code ties the flagged behavior to session operations. The scanner’s dynamic-code and socket indicators resolve to a capability probe and WebSocket handling; no concrete attack behavior was found.

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 80.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json exposes a CLI binary and has no lifecycle script entries., The worker is called by a hidden CLI command and accepts only session-message retrieval or session forking with a required session ID., The reported Claude configuration location compares paths and validates a project directory name; it does not write agent configuration., The dynamic Function occurrence is an empty-function capability probe that catches failure., The socket server returns HTTP 426 to non-upgrade requests, consistent with a WebSocket server rather than reverse-shell wiring., The flagged frontend and library files contain UI assets and bundled Effect/Schema code; inspected indicators do not establish an attack.

- **Evidence against:** The bundle includes dynamic function construction and a WebSocket server, but the inspected code shows a capability check and HTTP upgrade handling, not hidden payload execution or a reverse shell.

## Affected versions and remediation
