## 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:** 0.0.190-prod.1790659823295.gd12fcfe0bda24ad909c87aeceb4c37d540ffbe11
- **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.

Static inspection found no lifecycle hook or concrete malicious behavior. Network authentication and browser control are aligned with the package's explicit CLI function and include local endpoint and HTTPS-origin checks.

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 malicious attack surface was identified. The package is an explicitly invoked browser client that connects to its configured service and a local Chrome debugging endpoint.

- **Trigger:** A user runs the browser CLI with the start command.

- **Impact:** No unconsented install-time execution, credential export to an unrelated destination, or destructive behavior was found.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-29T05:36:05.496Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The client launches or connects to Chrome and makes authenticated requests to the configured HTTPS service origin.

- **Rationale:** Static inspection found no lifecycle hook or concrete malicious behavior. Network authentication and browser control are aligned with the package's explicit CLI function and include local endpoint and HTTPS-origin checks.

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 93.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest exposes module and CLI entrypoints and contains no lifecycle-script section., The Chrome debugger connection rejects endpoints outside the local loopback address and expected port., The browser runtime operates tracked tabs and performs normal page navigation., The personal client requires an HTTPS origin and sends its bearer token only to routes under that selected origin.
