## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 12 low-signal pattern(s) reviewed.

- **Verdict:** Manual Review
- **Product-default install policy:** Allow
- **Firewall policy:** No policy match
- **Public report status:** Under Review
- **Threat category:** Unknown
- **Selected version:** 0.0.195-prod.1792838121586.g0ea1a454c428970eca16754e9e7cc12c6143fa9f
- **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: manual review; recommendation: manual review. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

The inspected source shows browser-launch functionality and origin-bound credential handling, with no confirmed attack behavior. The selected ws dependency source was unavailable after an inspection attempt, so the runtime path remains unresolved.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** No attack was confirmed in the inspected package source. The selected WebSocket dependency source could not be read, so its behavior remains unresolved.

- **Trigger:** A user starts the browser client, which uses the WebSocket dependency while controlling Chrome.

- **Impact:** The unresolved dependency behavior prevents a complete assessment of this runtime path.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/mjs/chrome-launcher.mjs

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-24T10:43:45.797Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The launcher passes a Chrome debugger endpoint to the WebSocket client; the dependency implementation was unavailable for review.

- **Rationale:** The inspected source shows browser-launch functionality and origin-bound credential handling, with no confirmed attack behavior. The selected ws dependency source was unavailable after an inspection attempt, so the runtime path remains unresolved.

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

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Manual Review

- **Confidence:** 78.0%

- **Recommended action:** manual\_review

- **Intent class:** Unknown

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **AI review observations:** The manifest declares ws, which the Chrome launcher imports and uses to open a WebSocket; its selected dependency source was unavailable for inspection., The browser client sends its credential to the configured service origin, and saved credentials are refused when their recorded origin differs., The launcher starts the configured Chrome executable; the inspected code does not show a remote code download.
