## 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.1793032141339.g521f3f3db9c864119c3d4b395321728b9c2754a6
- **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 the saved bearer credential sent to the resolved HTTPS server origin and does not establish an unrelated recipient or concrete attack. The selected ws runtime dependency is used by the Chrome launcher, but its source was unavailable in this snapshot, so the review remains unresolved.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** No concrete attack was identified in the inspected source. Review remains unresolved because a selected runtime dependency used for Chrome DevTools transport could not be assessed from source in this snapshot.

- **Trigger:** Starting the browser client reaches the Chrome launcher and its WebSocket transport.

- **Impact:** The effect of that dependency's implementation remains unverified; no harmful behavior is established by the available source.

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

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-27T00:22:49.516Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The launcher imports the ws dependency and uses it to connect to a Chrome DevTools endpoint; that dependency's implementation was unavailable for source review.

- **Rationale:** The inspected source shows the saved bearer credential sent to the resolved HTTPS server origin and does not establish an unrelated recipient or concrete attack. The selected ws runtime dependency is used by the Chrome launcher, but its source was unavailable in this snapshot, so the review remains unresolved.

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

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Manual Review

- **Confidence:** 72.0%

- **Recommended action:** manual\_review

- **Intent class:** Unknown

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **AI review observations:** package.json declares ws as a runtime dependency, and chrome-launcher.mjs uses it to connect to Chrome DevTools., The client resolves its server origin from flags, configuration, and environment, requires HTTPS, and sends the bearer credential to that origin.

- **Evidence against:** The inspected source does not establish a package-selected unrelated recipient or a concrete attack.
