## 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:** 0.0.195-prod.1792260550650.gd8f2d7fc7c9762d014a957938fc657a9fe6a1c04
- **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 inspected entrypoint and flagged files support ordinary browser automation, with no install hook or verified remote payload execution. Scanner matches for process launch and dynamic evaluation are explained by starting Chrome and executing caller-supplied browser actions.

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 source. The flagged process launch starts Chrome, and dynamic code evaluation is part of the browser automation action.

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

- **Impact:** No malicious impact was established from the inspected behavior.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-17T18:16:42.371Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The launcher starts the configured Chrome executable; run\_js evaluates code provided to the browser action.

- **Rationale:** The inspected entrypoint and flagged files support ordinary browser automation, with no install hook or verified remote payload execution. Scanner matches for process launch and dynamic evaluation are explained by starting Chrome and executing caller-supplied browser actions.

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

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 94.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest points to the browser CLI entrypoint and lists its runtime dependencies; no install lifecycle hook is present., The launcher starts the selected Chrome executable with browser launch arguments., Dynamic evaluation occurs in the browser run\_js action using code supplied to that action., Navigation observation registers and removes page navigation, close, and crash handlers.

- **Evidence against:** No source inspected shows the package downloading or executing remote code; the launcher starts Chrome and the dynamic evaluation runs caller-supplied browser code., The observed runtime behavior is consistent with browser automation and navigation tracking; no concrete attack surface was identified.
