## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 20 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:** 1.183.0
- **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 package is a Claude Code statusline CLI with no install hook; the prepublishOnly script is not an install-time action. The flagged debugger attach path is an optional session feature, and the reviewed network requests retrieve registry or pricing data without evidence of exfiltration.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0%
- **Started:** 2026-11-03T04:45:57.483Z

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 attack was identified; reviewed the CLI entry points, install behavior, network calls, and attach feature.

- **Trigger:** Normal CLI invocation; debugger attachment requires the user to enable the statusline feature for the current session.

- **Impact:** No unsolicited data collection or account action was found.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-11-03T04:46:54.041Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The examined network calls retrieve registry/version and pricing data. The attach feature uses a per-user Unix socket.

- **Rationale:** The package is a Claude Code statusline CLI with no install hook; the prepublishOnly script is not an install-time action. The flagged debugger attach path is an optional session feature, and the reviewed network requests retrieve registry or pricing data without evidence of exfiltration.

- **Network endpoints:** registry.npmjs.org, raw.githubusercontent.com

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 94.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest exposes a CLI and has no install lifecycle hook; its prepublishOnly script is for publishing., The debugger-based statusline feature is an explicit on action for the current Claude Code session., The attach helper uses a per-user Unix socket for its inspector connection., The installer checks the npm registry, and pricing data is fetched from the package’s GitHub repository.

- **Evidence against:** The attach helper can evaluate code inside Claude Code, but the source describes it as an opt-in feature and limits the inspector socket to the current user., The U+FEFF character found in the bundle appears in a whitespace tokenizer; searches found no listed bidi controls.

## Affected versions and remediation
