## 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:** 0.8.8
- **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 high-risk matches resolve to ordinary library behavior, and the manifest shows no lifecycle scripts or runtime self-dependency. A clean verdict requires 196 distinct citations, exceeding the 128-citation limit, so manual review is required without treating scanner hints as proof of risk.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Manual Review
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 76.0%
- **Started:** 2026-10-17T05:28:51.660Z

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 established in the inspected source. The required clean review coverage exceeds the citation limit, so the broader package remains unresolved.

- **Trigger:** The inspected runtime paths activate through CLI invocation or settings interaction.

- **Impact:** No attack impact is established by these excerpts; the remaining source coverage is unresolved.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-17T05:30:31.246Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The reviewed worker handles session history operations; the inspected dynamic-code and socket matches are capability-check and HTTP server code.

- **Rationale:** The inspected high-risk matches resolve to ordinary library behavior, and the manifest shows no lifecycle scripts or runtime self-dependency. A clean verdict requires 196 distinct citations, exceeding the 128-citation limit, so manual review is required without treating scanner hints as proof of risk.

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Manual Review

- **Confidence:** 76.0%

- **Recommended action:** manual\_review

- **Intent class:** Unknown

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **AI review observations:** package.json declares the p4c CLI entry and shows no lifecycle scripts or dependency on itself., The history worker dispatches requests to session message retrieval or session forking., The dynamic Function match is an empty-function capability check; the WebSocket match creates an HTTP server that returns status 426., The requested runtime-operation byte windows contain settings-save error display formatting.

- **Evidence against:** Inspected flagged matches do not establish credential transfer, a reverse shell, or install-time mutation.

## Affected versions and remediation

- Review the evidence and your use of @p4code/cli@0.8.8 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report.
