## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 25 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:** 2.0.170
- **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.

Inspected source shows prompted CLI cleanup and explicit MCP setup, with no verified malicious behavior. The required binary plugin could not be inspected as UTF-8 source, so the package remains unresolved.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Manual Review
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 66.0%

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:** No concrete attack was established from the inspected executable source. The review remains unresolved because a required binary artifact could not be verified.

- **Trigger:** Package installation invokes the preinstall script; MCP configuration writes require setup-command handling.

- **Impact:** Potential removal is user-confirmed; no malicious impact was verified. The unresolved artifact prevents a clean decision.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-10T00:43:16.242Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The hook can remove conflicting CLI installations after prompting. Bundled telemetry collects host identity, but its effective activation and recipient were not established from the inspected excerpts.

- **Rationale:** Inspected source shows prompted CLI cleanup and explicit MCP setup, with no verified malicious behavior. The required binary plugin could not be inspected as UTF-8 source, so the package remains unresolved.

- **Files touched:** package.json, scripts/customer/preinstall.js, dist/dist-FD2Z7A4E.js, dist/index.js, dist/chunk-EFCMZ34V.js, dist/superblocks.plugin

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Manual Review

- **Confidence:** 66.0%

- **Recommended action:** manual\_review

- **Intent class:** Unknown

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **AI review observations:** package.json runs a preinstall hook that can remove conflicting CLI installations after a confirmation prompt., The MCP configuration writes are associated with explicit setup-command handling., Bundled Datadog instrumentation collects the machine hostname and includes host data in telemetry, but the inspected excerpts do not establish its effective activation or recipient., The shipped dist/superblocks.plugin is binary and could not be verified as UTF-8 source, leaving a required artifact unresolved.

- **Evidence against:** The preinstall removal path asks before attempting removal and displays the commands., MCP configuration setup includes a dry-run path and preserves unrelated server entries.
