## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 12 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:** 0.13.3-20261021073724x98dfa99
- **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.

The inspected package source does not establish malicious behavior, and the manifest has no install lifecycle hook. Platform-specific executable dependencies are declared and used, but their source was unavailable in the inspected snapshot, leaving their behavior unresolved.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Manual Review
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 74.0%

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 attack was identified in the inspected package source. Review remains inconclusive because the package declares platform-specific executable dependencies and their source was unavailable for inspection.

- **Trigger:** A user runs a CLI analysis command that invokes ast-grep.

- **Impact:** The behavior of those dependencies cannot be verified from this snapshot, so a clean assessment is not supported.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/index.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-21T07:55:20.332Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The CLI launches the ast-grep executable; the inspected snapshot does not include source for the declared platform-specific executable dependencies.

- **Rationale:** The inspected package source does not establish malicious behavior, and the manifest has no install lifecycle hook. Platform-specific executable dependencies are declared and used, but their source was unavailable in the inspected snapshot, leaving their behavior unresolved.

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Manual Review

- **Confidence:** 74.0%

- **Recommended action:** manual\_review

- **Intent class:** Unknown

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **AI review observations:** The manifest declares platform-specific ast-grep and Vale optional dependencies, and the CLI launches ast-grep for scans; source for those platform packages was not available in the inspected snapshot., The inspected tsx dependency manifest exposes a loader entrypoint, and its loader imports its runtime modules.

- **Evidence against:** The package manifest contains no install lifecycle hook, and the inspected source does not establish a concrete attack.

## Affected versions and remediation
