## Verdict summary
**Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 15 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:** 0.37.0
- **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: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

The default credential destination is the package's own service, and alternate gateways are configurable by the operator. Because the saved token is sent to an unrestricted configured host, warn about conditional credential exposure without treating it as a confirmed attack.

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:** Authenticated CLI requests can send a saved Actionway access token to a configurable gateway. The default is Actionway's service, but the request path does not bind the token to that host.

- **Trigger:** A user runs an authenticated CLI request while a different gateway is set through the login option, saved session, or environment.

- **Impact:** A misconfigured or untrusted gateway can receive the saved service token; the source does not establish covert forwarding to a fixed unrelated recipient.

- **Evidence paths:** dl.mjs

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-23T09:47:55.049Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The CLI selects the configured gateway and attaches the stored token as a bearer credential to API requests.

- **Rationale:** The default credential destination is the package's own service, and alternate gateways are configurable by the operator. Because the saved token is sent to an unrestricted configured host, warn about conditional credential exposure without treating it as a confirmed attack.

- **Network endpoints:** https://actionway.ai

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 91.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** The manifest defines CLI entrypoints and a Playwright dependency, with no install lifecycle script., The CLI stores an access token in its session and can retain a gateway URL with that session., The API gateway defaults to Actionway, but the login command and environment can select another gateway., API request helpers send the session token as a bearer credential to the URL built from the selected gateway.

- **Evidence against:** The default gateway is the package's Actionway service; the alternate destination is configurable through CLI or environment settings., No source shows the saved token being sent to the callback collector or another fixed unrelated recipient.
