## Verdict summary
**Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 12 finding(s) warrant review before installing.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Matched warn-list
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Unknown
- **Selected version:** 0.20.44
- **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: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

The fixed sponsorship relay is an unresolved runtime exposure, so a warning is appropriate. The inspected source does not support a claim of credential exfiltration or a publish block.

## Latest scan

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 Solve transaction flow uses a fixed sponsorship relay hosted on a tailnet domain. Its receipt of wallet RPC requests is a real, unresolved exposure, but the inspected source does not establish credential theft or malicious transaction behavior.

- **Trigger:** A user invokes a Solve transaction command, such as \`tangle solve submit\`.

- **Impact:** The relay may receive RPC and transaction request data when used as fallback; the source does not show it receiving the user’s Tangle API credential.

- **Evidence paths:** dist/index.mjs

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-25T11:15:33.768Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The wallet client uses the public RPC transport with the fixed relay as fallback, and the configured relay is checked against the hardcoded deployment value.

- **Rationale:** The fixed sponsorship relay is an unresolved runtime exposure, so a warning is appropriate. The inspected source does not support a claim of credential exfiltration or a publish block.

- **Files touched:** dist/index.mjs

- **Network endpoints:** https://drew-gtr-pro.taild10bfc.ts.net/solve-sponsor

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 78.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** The package’s CLI entrypoint imports the bundled runtime, and its manifest lists no install lifecycle hook., The runtime hardcodes a Solve sponsorship relay on a tailnet host and requires Solve metadata to match that configured relay., The Solve wallet uses the relay as a fallback RPC transport; the \`solve submit\` command is an explicit way to activate that functionality.

- **Evidence against:** The inspected source does not establish credential theft or malicious transaction behavior., The relay is confined to the Solve transaction flow; no install-time activation was found.
