## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 9 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:** 0.14.0
- **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: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

Direct inspection found a user-command/package-scoped updater and service telemetry, but no lifecycle hook, credential harvesting, arbitrary payload execution, or foreign AI-agent control-surface mutation. Static command/network signals are consistent with the CLI's documented operations.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0%
- **Started:** 2026-08-09T19:29:11.501Z

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 malicious install-time or import-time attack surface. The shipped updater is limited to this package's npm reinstall and its own CLI shims when explicitly invoked or used by an external wrapper.

- **Trigger:** User runs dl self-update, or a separately installed dl wrapper invokes dl-npm-update.sh.

- **Impact:** Updates @pawlogic/dl under /home/user/.local and reports update outcome to configured service.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, dl.mjs, ilands.mjs, dl-npm-update.sh

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-09T19:30:24.052Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** package-scoped CLI self-update and callback telemetry

- **Rationale:** Direct inspection found a user-command/package-scoped updater and service telemetry, but no lifecycle hook, credential harvesting, arbitrary payload execution, or foreign AI-agent control-surface mutation. Static command/network signals are consistent with the CLI's documented operations.

- **Files touched:** dl.mjs, dl-npm-update.sh, package.json

- **Network endpoints:** https://registry.npmjs.org, https://callback-server-z4umynwjcq-uc.a.run.app/sandbox-rpc/dl/selfupdate-event

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 90.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** dl-npm-update.sh can globally reinstall @pawlogic/dl and relink its own CLI shims., dl-npm-update.sh posts bounded update telemetry when sandbox variables are present.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, postinstall, or prepare hook., Self-update is a documented dl command/wrapper path, not package-install execution., Telemetry sends update status and validated sandbox metadata to the configured callback service., OAuth, local callback server, network calls, and child processes support the CLI's user-invoked service operations.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @pawlogic/dl@0.14.0.

- Review the evidence and your use of @pawlogic/dl@0.14.0 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.
