## 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.1792076971149.g52f46874ef5505773df15055a0e310d4ee5cccdc
- **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 found no lifecycle hook or concrete malicious behavior. The flagged dynamic evaluation and process launch support browser automation and local Chrome startup, and the credential is sent to the configured HTTPS server origin.

## Latest scan

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 inspected runtime behavior supports the package’s browser-control purpose.

- **Trigger:** A user starts the CLI; browser code execution is available through a run\_js action.

- **Impact:** No unauthorized credential disclosure, remote code download, or other concrete attack impact was established.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-15T15:19:22.109Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The client sends its configured credential to the configured HTTPS origin and relays browser actions through that connection. The launcher starts local Chrome.

- **Rationale:** Source inspection found no lifecycle hook or concrete malicious behavior. The flagged dynamic evaluation and process launch support browser automation and local Chrome startup, and the credential is sent to the configured HTTPS server origin.

### 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 directs imports and the CLI to dist/mjs/main.mjs and declares no lifecycle hook., personal-main.mjs resolves a credential through the selected connection settings, requires HTTPS, and sends it as a bearer token to that same origin., The credential-bearing request wrapper serves registration, polling, forwarding, action admission, result delivery, retirement, and acknowledgements; inspected callers use that wrapper., browser-runtime.mjs evaluates code supplied as a run\_js browser action and bounds generated artifacts; this is browser-control functionality exposed by the package., chrome-launcher.mjs starts the validated Chrome executable locally; the inspected path does not download or execute remote code., navigation-observer.mjs observes page navigation, while diagnostic-redaction.mjs removes URL credentials and redacts tokens and other sensitive fields.
