## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 15 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:** 0.38.0
- **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.

The flagged process execution and network behavior map to the package’s CLI functions and configured service RPCs. The manifest has no lifecycle hooks, and inspected sources do not establish malicious behavior.

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 was identified. The package exposes CLI functions for local transforms, browser automation, and authenticated service requests.

- **Trigger:** A user runs a CLI subcommand; local script execution requires selecting the Python transform command.

- **Impact:** No hidden credential recipient, install-time hook, or other concrete attack effect was established.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-28T11:25:55.980Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The script runner captures output for the CLI. Authenticated requests and updater reports use configured service endpoints and the provided proxy token.

- **Rationale:** The flagged process execution and network behavior map to the package’s CLI functions and configured service RPCs. The manifest has no lifecycle hooks, and inspected sources do not establish malicious behavior.

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 94.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json defines CLI entrypoints, pins playwright-core, and has no lifecycle scripts; the dependency manifest also has no install scripts., The flagged shell execution is part of the selected local Python transform command, which returns its output through the CLI., Sandbox API requests require the configured callback URL and proxy token; billing requests send that token to the configured service endpoint., Updater reports send outcome and runtime identifiers to the configured callback RPC endpoint using the existing proxy token., The dependency entrypoints, bundles, and type files describe Playwright browser automation and its browser protocol.
