## 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:** 6.14.8
- **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 are explained by an explicitly invoked frontend-development CLI, while the manifest has no lifecycle hooks. Source inspection found no automatic execution, credential theft, exfiltration, or concealed payload.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0%
- **Started:** 2026-09-08T11:13:05.330Z
- **Finished:** 2026-09-08T11:14:15.712Z
- **Download time:** 761 ms
- **Static scan time:** 421 ms
- **AI review time:** 69199 ms
- **Total time:** 70382 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 automatic attack surface is established. The package’s side effects are developer tooling actions reached through explicit fec commands.

- **Trigger:** A user runs a fec build, development, proxy, or TypeScript patch command.

- **Impact:** Explicit commands may modify the consumer project's TypeScript setup and start local development services.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-08T11:14:15.712Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Developer CLI orchestration for webpack, TypeScript, and local containers.

- **Rationale:** The scanner signals are explained by an explicitly invoked frontend-development CLI, while the manifest has no lifecycle hooks. Source inspection found no automatic execution, credential theft, exfiltration, or concealed payload.

- **Files touched:** package.json, tsconfig.json

### 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 fec CLI and has no install lifecycle script., An explicit fec command can add a TypeScript postinstall entry to the consumer project., The build command runs webpack only after the build CLI command is selected., The dev-proxy command pulls and runs named development containers., The optional interceptor fetches Chrome configuration only when enabled by the project configuration., The flagged TypeScript file is a plain compiler-options template.

- **Evidence against:** No automatic preinstall, install, or postinstall execution exists in this package., No credential harvesting, secret exfiltration, obfuscated payload, or remote code execution was found., Network and container operations are confined to explicitly invoked development commands.

- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@redhat-cloud-services/frontend-components-config@6.14.8/bin/dev-proxy-script.js>)

This package version adds a dangerous source file absent from the previous stored version; route for source-aware review.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
matchType = previous_version_dangerous_delta
matchedPackage = @redhat-cloud-services/frontend-components-config@6.12.0
matchedIdentity = npm:[redacted]:6.12.0
similarity = 0.824
summary = stored previous version shares package body but lacks this dangerous source file
```
