## 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:** 0.0.194-prod.1791450967742.ge619935c509ea728f45a1d0afd117276a06c01dc
- **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 source supports a browser automation package with caller-directed JavaScript execution. Scanner hints alone do not establish a hidden download-and-execute attack, and the inspected sources show no concrete malicious behavior.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 84.0%
- **Started:** 2026-10-08T13:15:31.249Z

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 entrypoint, browser launcher, or runtime excerpts. The flagged dynamic execution is an explicit browser scripting capability.

- **Trigger:** A caller starts the CLI and invokes the browser run\_js action with code.

- **Impact:** The action can affect the browser page under caller direction; the inspected excerpts do not show covert execution or an unrelated payload.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-08T13:15:52.984Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The runtime executes supplied code in the active browser page and bounds the returned result and artifacts.

- **Rationale:** The source supports a browser automation package with caller-directed JavaScript execution. Scanner hints alone do not establish a hidden download-and-execute attack, and the inspected sources show no concrete malicious behavior.

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 84.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest lists the matching first-party API package and browser runtime dependencies., Chrome launch is part of the browser launcher and is limited to macOS., Dynamic code execution is exposed through an explicit browser run\_js action that requires caller-provided code., The CLI starts the browser service through its start command.

- **Evidence against:** No lifecycle hooks are declared in package.json., The inspected launcher and runtime excerpts show no hidden download-and-execute path.
