## 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:** 0.2.496
- **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 manifest has no lifecycle scripts, and the inspected JavaScript includes sandbox setup and a guarded local-login handoff. The native executable’s behavior remains materially unresolved, so manual review is warranted without a confirmed attack finding.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Manual Review
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 96.0%
- **Started:** 2026-10-21T05:39:23.837Z

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 concrete attack was established. The shipped native executable remains unresolved because its bounded embedded-source analysis cannot determine its full behavior.

- **Trigger:** Unknown; the available analysis does not establish when or how all native code executes.

- **Impact:** Cannot be determined from the inspected source; no confirmed attack impact or recipient was identified.

- **Evidence paths:** bin/reason, .lpm-inspection-bS9Zsx/0-8d618f9822bf.txt

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-21T05:40:28.036Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The offline analysis contains bounded embedded-source windows, including local-login code, but does not establish loader reachability or the complete credential-transfer path.

- **Rationale:** The manifest has no lifecycle scripts, and the inspected JavaScript includes sandbox setup and a guarded local-login handoff. The native executable’s behavior remains materially unresolved, so manual review is warranted without a confirmed attack finding.

- **Files touched:** bin/reason, .lpm-inspection-bS9Zsx/0-8d618f9822bf.txt, bin/runtime/srt/sandbox-runtime.mjs, package.json

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Manual Review

- **Confidence:** 96.0%

- **Recommended action:** manual\_review

- **Intent class:** Unknown

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **AI review observations:** The manifest identifies this as a Darwin x64 native CLI package and contains no lifecycle scripts., The 78 MB Mach-O executable has only bounded embedded-source analysis; that analysis cannot establish loader reachability or rule out other native behavior., Embedded source shows local-login handoff guarded by a \`localLogins\` setting, but the excerpts do not establish the full activation and send path., Embedded source reads provider API keys from environment variables and local agent configuration; the excerpts do not establish an external recipient or an actual transfer.

- **Evidence against:** The inspected JavaScript bundle includes sandbox isolation setup, including seccomp filtering., No concrete attack was verified from the inspected excerpts.

## Affected versions and remediation
