## Verdict summary
**Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 14 finding(s) warrant review before installing.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Matched warn-list
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Credential Exfiltration
- **Selected version:** 0.24.7
- **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.

The CLI has an explicit credential-forwarding risk: its gateway can be configured independently of the saved Actionway token, and the validation shown does not bind the destination to Actionway. This warrants a warning, but the reviewed evidence does not establish malicious intent or an automatic install-time attack.

## Latest scan

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:** The CLI can send a stored Actionway access token to a configurable gateway. This creates conditional credential exposure when a caller configures a gateway outside the intended Actionway service.

- **Trigger:** A user invokes the CLI with Actionway credentials present and a custom ACTIONWAY\_GATEWAY\_URL or stored gateway\_url.

- **Impact:** The configured gateway may receive the user's Actionway token.

- **Evidence paths:** dl.mjs

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-07T14:56:19.636Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The selected gateway becomes the API base URL alongside the stored access token; gateway validation enforces HTTPS but does not restrict the destination host.

- **Rationale:** The CLI has an explicit credential-forwarding risk: its gateway can be configured independently of the saved Actionway token, and the validation shown does not bind the destination to Actionway. This warrants a warning, but the reviewed evidence does not establish malicious intent or an automatic install-time attack.

- **Files touched:** package.json, dl.mjs

- **Network endpoints:** https://actionway.ai, ACTIONWAY\_GATEWAY\_URL, stored gateway\_url

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 84.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** package.json exposes dl.mjs as the dl executable., dl.mjs can select ACTIONWAY\_GATEWAY\_URL or a stored gateway\_url while using the saved Actionway access token., Gateway selection is only checked for HTTPS; the code does not bind the token to the intended Actionway host., The alternate sandbox mode requires CALLBACK\_SERVER\_URL and DL\_PROXY\_TOKEN, supplied by the hosted sandbox environment.

- **Evidence against:** The CLI is invoked explicitly through its declared executable; no install lifecycle hook is declared., The sandbox credential path is gated on both environment values and is described in code as sandbox-only.
