## 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.1791642446270.g1e900da032f1be59129c162b74af22152822d823
- **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 flagged dynamic evaluation is an explicit browser automation operation that executes code supplied to the operation, not an observed hidden package payload. Inspection found no remote code download or install lifecycle hook, and the updater is option-gated.

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 provides browser automation, including a JavaScript escape hatch that executes caller-supplied code in a browser page.

- **Trigger:** A caller invokes the browser JavaScript operation and supplies code.

- **Impact:** Effects are limited to the browser page and actions available to the invoked browser operation; no package-controlled payload delivery was established.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-10T14:33:57.800Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The supplied code runs in the selected browser page; the result is labeled untrusted and its outcome unverified.

- **Rationale:** The flagged dynamic evaluation is an explicit browser automation operation that executes code supplied to the operation, not an observed hidden package payload. Inspection found no remote code download or install lifecycle hook, and the updater is option-gated.

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 91.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json routes the package entrypoint to the browser CLI., The JavaScript escape hatch runs code supplied as an input value within the selected browser page., The returned result marks this execution as untrusted and says its outcome is unverified., Chrome is launched through a dedicated launcher; the inspected source shows no remote download or execution path., The CLI updater is gated by the user's auto-update option.
