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. 24 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:** 1.0.6 - **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 evidence does not support the scanner’s reverse-shell or credential-redirect claims: the generated rule detects suspicious shell commands, and the inspected token flow targets Todoist. Other runtime and agent-configuration paths remain unresolved, so a clean verdict is not established. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Manual Review - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 68.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-23T00:53:55.206Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-23T00:54:58.908Z - **Download time:** 2285 ms - **Static scan time:** 9372 ms - **AI review time:** 52044 ms - **Total time:** 63702 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 was established in the inspected excerpts, but the package’s runtime and agent-configuration behavior remains unresolved. - **Trigger:** Not established from the inspected source. - **Impact:** No concrete attack impact was established from the inspected excerpts. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-23T00:54:58.908Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The inspected setup sends a Todoist token to the Todoist API and a hook records selected tool data locally; broader runtime behavior was not resolved. - **Rationale:** The inspected evidence does not support the scanner’s reverse-shell or credential-redirect claims: the generated rule detects suspicious shell commands, and the inspected token flow targets Todoist. Other runtime and agent-configuration paths remain unresolved, so a clean verdict is not established. - **Files touched:** package.json, dist/cli/index.mjs, dist/hooks/capture-tool-output.mjs, src/hooks/ts/lib/rules/builtin.generated.ts - **Network endpoints:** https://api.todoist.com/api/v1 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Manual Review - **Confidence:** 68.0% - **Recommended action:** manual\_review - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **AI review observations:** package.json shows no install lifecycle hook; its only listed lifecycle-like script is prepublishOnly., The inspected Todoist setup prompts for a token and the API client sends it to api.todoist.com., The generated shell rule is a detection pattern for decoded payloads piped into a shell, not reverse-shell execution., The tool-output hook records selected tool input and output locally after receiving hook data. - **Evidence against:** Several runtime and agent-configuration paths remain unresolved, so the inspected excerpts do not establish the package’s full behavior. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @tekmidian/pai@1.0.6. - Review the evidence and your use of @tekmidian/pai@1.0.6 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.
