## 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.1791708317172.gb85ed8bc62db462e9d310736156fd8c9127729bb
- **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.

Source inspection supports a browser automation package: no lifecycle scripts are declared, and the flagged JavaScript evaluation is gated on a run\_js action carrying caller-supplied code. The scanner's remote-download claim is not supported by the inspected launcher source.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0%
- **Started:** 2026-10-11T08:50:30.956Z

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. The package provides a browser automation CLI that launches Chrome and supports caller-supplied JavaScript actions.

- **Trigger:** A user starts the CLI or invokes a browser run\_js action with code.

- **Impact:** The reviewed source establishes ordinary browser automation behavior, with no confirmed malicious action.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-11T08:50:55.498Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The launcher validates the Chrome path and profile path; run\_js evaluates the supplied code in the browser page.

- **Rationale:** Source inspection supports a browser automation package: no lifecycle scripts are declared, and the flagged JavaScript evaluation is gated on a run\_js action carrying caller-supplied code. The scanner's remote-download claim is not supported by the inspected launcher source.

- **Files touched:** package.json, dist/mjs/chrome-launcher.mjs, dist/mjs/browser-runtime.mjs

### 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 points to the CLI entrypoint and declares no lifecycle scripts., The launcher resolves Chrome and validates a dedicated profile before starting it., The runtime evaluates code only when a run\_js action supplies input.code; this is an explicit browser automation capability.

- **Evidence against:** The inspected launcher uses the installed Chrome executable; no remote code download or execution was found in the inspected launcher source., No concrete credential theft, exfiltration, persistence, or destructive behavior was established.
