## 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:** 0.9.1
- **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 postinstall download is package-aligned and the source verifies the archive checksum and binary version. No concrete malicious behavior was identified in the inspected entrypoints and runtime source.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 95.0%

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 postinstall hook downloads the package’s native CLI from its declared release repository. The inspected JavaScript shows no attack surface beyond installing and launching that package-aligned binary.

- **Trigger:** Package installation runs the postinstall hook; invoking the lain command launches the cached binary.

- **Impact:** The behavior installs and runs the package’s intended CLI; no unrelated recipient, credential transfer, or consumer project mutation was identified in the inspected JavaScript.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-14T00:04:29.606Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The installer downloads a versioned archive and checksum, verifies the archive, and checks that the binary reports the expected version before caching it.

- **Rationale:** The postinstall download is package-aligned and the source verifies the archive checksum and binary version. No concrete malicious behavior was identified in the inspected entrypoints and runtime source.

- **Files touched:** package.json, scripts/install.js, scripts/runtime.js, bin/lain.js

- **Network endpoints:** github.com

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 95.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json runs scripts/install.js at postinstall, which calls the binary installer., scripts/runtime.js fetches versioned release files from the package’s declared GitHub repository and checks the archive against its SHA-256 checksum., The downloaded binary must report the expected package version; bin/lain.js launches it with the user’s supplied arguments.

- **Path:** package.json
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@spuentesp/lain-mcp@0.9.1/package.json>)

Install-time source downloads a native archive from a fixed external host without transport verification, extracts it, and installs an executable payload.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```json
scripts.postinstall = node scripts/install.js
Install-time code downloads an unverified remote native executable, stages it locally, activates an executable path, and exposes it to process execution.
L4: const fs = require('fs');
L5: const https = require('https');
L6: const os = require('os');
L7: const path = require('path');
L8: const { execFileSync, spawnSync } = require('child_process');

- **Path:** scripts/runtime.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@spuentesp/lain-mcp@0.9.1/scripts/runtime.js>)

This package version adds a dangerous source file absent from the previous stored version; route for source-aware review.

```javascript
matchType = previous_version_dangerous_delta
matchedPackage = @spuentesp/lain-mcp@0.9.0
matchedIdentity = npm:QHNwdWVudGVzcC9sYWluLW1jcA:0.9.0
similarity = 0.667
summary = stored previous version shares package body but lacks this dangerous source file
```

### 12. Low: Suspicious Lifecycle Evidence

- **Confidence:** 95.0%
- **Path:** package.json
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@spuentesp/lain-mcp@0.9.1/package.json>)
