## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 19 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:** 6.5.1
- **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 scanner signals match ordinary CLI and bundled dependency capabilities in the inspected source. The report submission is presented as an explicit CLI operation and uses the configured Harness control plane; no concrete attack behavior was established.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0%
- **Started:** 2026-10-28T16:47:22.210Z
- **Finished:** 2026-10-28T16:53:01.085Z
- **Download time:** 515 ms
- **Static scan time:** 2411 ms
- **AI review time:** 335949 ms
- **Total time:** 338875 ms

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 in the inspected package source. The reviewed network and process capabilities align with CLI reporting, registry access, and the declared React DevTools dependency.

- **Trigger:** The report submission is activated by the report command; the package manifest declares no install-time lifecycle hook.

- **Impact:** No confirmed attack effect was found.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-28T16:53:01.085Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The report path builds a Harness report and submits it using the resolved control-plane URL. No hidden credential collection or unrelated recipient was established.

- **Rationale:** The scanner signals match ordinary CLI and bundled dependency capabilities in the inspected source. The report submission is presented as an explicit CLI operation and uses the configured Harness control plane; no concrete attack behavior was established.

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 88.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json maps the CLI names to dist/index.js; the declared dependency is react-devtools-core, whose manifest describes React DevTools and points to its backend bundle., The CLI report flow describes a user-run report command and submits a Harness report through the configured control-plane URL., The dependency backend is a module export; its manifest names it as the package main entry., The dependency standalone bundle contains React runtime code, while its parser chunk exports hook-name and source-metadata parsing functions., The parser worker contains Babel code-frame functionality.

- **Evidence against:** The CLI bundle includes process access, child-process utilities, and network calls, but inspected source ties these to CLI operations and configured service or registry behavior; no concrete credential theft or other attack was established., The parser chunk fetches a supplied source URL for parsing; inspected code did not establish a package-selected credential recipient.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @punks/cli@6.5.1.

- Review the evidence and your use of @punks/cli@6.5.1 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report.
