Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## 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:** 0.2.196 - **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 new macOS file adds read-only local memory-pressure diagnostics, and the screenshot portal dependency is loaded only for screenshot capture. The default telemetry is disclosed, opt-out, and limited to usage fields sent through the paired agent. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 96.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-01T12:04:31.462Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-01T12:05:07.145Z - **Download time:** 765 ms - **Static scan time:** 1611 ms - **AI review time:** 33306 ms - **Total time:** 35683 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 identified; the reviewed changes support local system diagnostics and screenshot capture. - **Trigger:** System metrics are gathered when the corresponding tool is called; D-Bus is loaded when screenshot capture is requested. - **Impact:** No source evidence of credential collection, unrelated data transfer, or unauthorized account or filesystem actions. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-01T12:05:07.145Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Reads local operating-system metrics and uses the desktop screenshot portal. Disclosed usage metrics are sent through the paired agent with a limited field whitelist. - **Rationale:** The new macOS file adds read-only local memory-pressure diagnostics, and the screenshot portal dependency is loaded only for screenshot capture. The default telemetry is disclosed, opt-out, and limited to usage fields sent through the paired agent. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json declares no install lifecycle hooks; its scripts are for start, check and test., Telemetry is disclosed, can be disabled, and is sent through the authenticated paired ReMCP agent; its fields are limited to tool names, timings, outcomes and coarse error classes., The added macOS memory-pressure code reads local system metrics as part of the get-system-info operation., The D-Bus dependency is dynamically loaded by the screenshot capture function, which performs a local desktop portal screenshot request. - **Evidence against:** Usage telemetry is enabled by default, though the package discloses it and provides ways to disable it. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @remcp/runtime@0.2.196. - Review the evidence and your use of @remcp/runtime@0.2.196 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1. Low: Scripts Present - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 100.0% Package declares npm scripts. ### 2. Medium: Network - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 75.0% Package source references network APIs. ### 3.

High: Copied Package Dependency Bridge - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 83.0% - **Path:** src/screenshot-portal.mjs - **Public source:** [View source]() Package metadata claims a different repository identity while copied source loads a runtime dependency bridge. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript package = @remcp/runtime; repositoryIdentity = remcp; dependency = @jellybrick/dbus-next L249: timeoutMs = DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_MS, L250: loadDbus = () => import('@jellybrick/dbus-next'), L251: } = {}) { ``` ### 6. Low: High Entropy Strings - **Category:** Supply Chain - **Confidence:** 55.0% Package source contains high-entropy string patterns. ### 7. Low: Url Strings - **Category:** Supply Chain - **Confidence:** 65.0% Package source contains URL literals. ### 8. Medium: Ships Build Helper - **Category:** Artifact Inventory - **Confidence:** 70.0% - **Path:** src/helpers/wayland\_eis\_sender.py - **Public source:** [View source]() Package ships non-JavaScript build or shell helper files. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```python path = src/helpers/wayland_eis_sender.py kind = build_helper sizeBytes = 15744 magicHex = [redacted] ``` ### 9. Medium: Structural Risk Force Deep Review - **Category:** Artifact Inventory - **Confidence:** 100.0% Artifact structure forces deeper review even if the static behavioral verdict is clean. ### 10. High: Semantic Analysis Limited - **Category:** Scanner Coverage - **Confidence:** 100.0% - **Path:** src/tools/files-screenshots.mjs\#virtual:normalized:round1 - **Public source:** [View source]() A bounded semantic-analysis stage reached its safety limit; remaining detectors completed, but this package requires AI review. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```text stage = ast_semantic_analysis; reason = ast_parse_error; limitedFiles = 2 ``` ### 11. High: Previous Version Dangerous Delta - **Category:** Supply Chain - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Path:** src/tools/system.mjs - **Public source:** [View source]() 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 = @remcp/runtime@0.2.195 matchedIdentity = npm:QHJlbWNwL3J1bnRpbWU:0.2.195 similarity = 0.989 summary = stored previous version shares package body but lacks this dangerous source file ``` ### 12. Low: Suspicious Lifecycle Evidence - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() package.json declares no install lifecycle hooks; its scripts are for start, check and test.
