## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 12 low-signal pattern(s) reviewed.

- **Verdict:** Manual Review
- **Product-default install policy:** Allow
- **Firewall policy:** No policy match
- **Public report status:** Under Review
- **Threat category:** Unknown
- **Selected version:** 0.2.401
- **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: manual review; recommendation: manual review. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

The inspected JavaScript target is benign search-exclusion logic, and the manifest has no install hook. Native executable behavior remains materially unresolved, so manual review is warranted without treating scanner similarity or credential-reading candidates alone as proof of an attack.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Manual Review
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 86.0%
- **Started:** 2026-10-18T17:08:57.926Z

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 is confirmed. The native CLI includes embedded code candidates that read local agent credentials, while the available analysis cannot establish whether that code runs or how those values are used.

- **Trigger:** Unresolved; the embedded source does not establish the activating action.

- **Impact:** Potential exposure of local credentials cannot be assessed from the available artifact analysis.

- **Evidence paths:** .lpm-inspection-zjBN9p/0-a67a4af1eb9a.txt, .lpm-inspection-zjBN9p/1-6c79cb6bbe2e.txt, .lpm-inspection-zjBN9p/2-8ceff216cb96.txt, .lpm-inspection-zjBN9p/3-909dfdce71e7.txt

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-18T17:10:34.406Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Unresolved native behavior; embedded candidates include local credential reads, but reachability and any transfer are not established.

- **Rationale:** The inspected JavaScript target is benign search-exclusion logic, and the manifest has no install hook. Native executable behavior remains materially unresolved, so manual review is warranted without treating scanner similarity or credential-reading candidates alone as proof of an attack.

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Manual Review

- **Confidence:** 86.0%

- **Recommended action:** manual\_review

- **Intent class:** Unknown

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **AI review observations:** The manifest identifies a Darwin x64 CLI binary package and contains no lifecycle scripts or JavaScript entrypoint fields., The flagged agent-related code lists protected paths; its caller builds file-search exclusion globs rather than writing agent settings., An embedded source candidate reads local agent credentials, but the analysis says its bounded windows cannot establish reachability or rule out other native behavior., The packaged background executables and keychain library have unsupported analysis, so their behavior remains unresolved.

- **Evidence against:** The manifest shows no install hook or JavaScript entrypoint., The flagged agent-related source implements search exclusions, not agent configuration changes.

## Affected versions and remediation
