Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 25 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:** 4.9.4 - **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 resolves the scanner signals to ordinary CLI operations and package-aligned telemetry. No concrete malicious behavior was established, so the package is clean. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-14T22:57:27.596Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-14T23:01:06.223Z - **Download time:** 1514 ms - **Static scan time:** 59099 ms - **AI review time:** 158012 ms - **Total time:** 218627 ms 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 surface was identified in the inspected source. The flagged runtime and bundle signals resolve to CLI functionality and Shopify-hosted usage telemetry. - **Trigger:** A user invokes the CLI; the manifest declares no npm install lifecycle trigger. - **Impact:** No confirmed unauthorized disclosure, account change, or agent-configuration mutation was established. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-14T23:01:06.223Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The CLI sends a command telemetry event to Shopify and uses standard session, theme, and app-security-check code. - **Rationale:** Source inspection resolves the scanner signals to ordinary CLI operations and package-aligned telemetry. No concrete malicious behavior was established, so the package is clean. - **Network endpoints:** https://monorail-edge.shopifysvc.com/v1/produce ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** High - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json exposes the Shopify CLI binary and build-related scripts; it declares no npm install lifecycle script., The runtime hints resolve to app-log formatting, WebSocket authentication handling, Liquid parsing, and theme-file operations., The apparent account-action locations in dist/chunk-FKIVKNOV.js are diff-algorithm code; the AGENTS.md match is a theme-file discovery glob., The command-output signal includes a fixed machine-ID query and a Shopify-hosted app\_cli3\_command telemetry event; no concrete attack transfer was established., The added dist/chunk-EO4YJFMY.js implements an app security-check workflow for user-requested CLI use., The other required bundle paths were inspected; their cited excerpts show bundled module imports, with no concrete attack chain established. - **Evidence against:** Static hints flagged command-output exfiltration and a newly added bundle, but inspected source maps these to machine-ID collection, Shopify usage telemetry, and an app security-check feature., The package contains network, process, and session-handling code; the reviewed excerpts show package-aligned CLI and protocol behavior. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @shopify/cli@4.9.4. - Review the evidence and your use of @shopify/cli@4.9.4 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. ## Public findings ### 1.
