## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 12 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:** 2.0.36
- **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 install-time network and file operations implement package-local native SDK setup from Recall’s release host. The inspected runtime behavior is API-driven, and no concrete malicious behavior was identified.

## Latest scan

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 source. The install hook sets up the package’s platform-specific native SDK, and runtime commands are initiated through the SDK API.

- **Trigger:** Package installation runs setup.js; a consumer’s call to init starts the native process.

- **Impact:** No confirmed attack surface was established in the inspected source.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-18T09:06:57.743Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The installer fetches a native archive from Recall’s release host and extracts it into package-local directories. The JavaScript API starts the bundled executable and sends it caller-provided configuration and commands.

- **Rationale:** The install-time network and file operations implement package-local native SDK setup from Recall’s release host. The inspected runtime behavior is API-driven, and no concrete malicious behavior was identified.

- **Files touched:** setup.js, package.json, index.js, Frameworks, gstreamer-1.0

- **Network endpoints:** https://recallai-desktop-sdk-releases.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 87.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json runs setup.js from its install hook., setup.js downloads platform-specific native SDK archives from Recall’s release host using the package commit identifier, then extracts them into the package., The installer removes only package-local Frameworks or gstreamer-1.0 directories before extraction., index.js starts the bundled native executable through init and passes it the caller’s SDK options., The inspected runtime-operation location only forwards a log command while the native process is active.

- **Evidence against:** The install hook performs a remote download and replaces package-local native files; the inspected source ties this to platform SDK setup.
