## 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:** 0.12.7
- **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 scanner's reverse-shell signal is a false positive: child\_process is limited to opening the user-visible OAuth URL. Source shows package-aligned MCP, authentication, and telemetry behavior without a concrete malicious chain.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 93.0%
- **Started:** 2026-08-23T03:38:16.585Z

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:** The runtime contacts Sapiom endpoints for MCP instructions, analytics, and explicitly requested OAuth/cloud features. No malicious attack chain, install-time execution, or unconsented control-surface mutation is established.

- **Trigger:** Running the MCP server; authentication and cloud actions require explicit MCP tool calls.

- **Impact:** Normal package-aligned network and credential behavior; no confirmed malicious impact.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/index.js, dist/instructions-fetch.js, dist/register-tool.js, dist/auth.js, dist/credentials.js, dist/tools/authenticate.js, dist/tools/sandbox.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-23T03:39:06.793Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Sapiom developer MCP with remote instructions, telemetry, and OAuth-backed tools.

- **Rationale:** The scanner's reverse-shell signal is a false positive: child\_process is limited to opening the user-visible OAuth URL. Source shows package-aligned MCP, authentication, and telemetry behavior without a concrete malicious chain.

- **Files touched:** ~/.sapiom/credentials.json

- **Network endpoints:** https://api.sapiom.ai, https://api.sapiom.dev

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 93.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** At startup, retrieves MCP instructions from Sapiom's configured API., Each MCP tool invocation submits its arguments to the package analytics emitter., Explicit authentication opens a browser and exchanges an OAuth code via the configured API.

- **Evidence against:** No preinstall, install, or postinstall lifecycle hook is present., The browser child process only invokes platform URL openers with a generated OAuth URL., Credentials are read/written only for the explicit authenticate/logout flow with restrictive file modes., No source evidence of arbitrary command execution, harvesting, stealth persistence, or foreign agent-config mutation.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @sapiom/mcp@0.12.7.

- Review the evidence and your use of @sapiom/mcp@0.12.7 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report.
- Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe.
