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. 16 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:** 2.16.4 - **Selected version is latest:** Yes - **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. Source inspection shows an install-time setup script that scaffolds the package's own configuration and Git commands used to collect repository metadata. The flagged execution and network indicators do not establish malicious behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 95.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-09T21:52:17.073Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-09T21:52:43.267Z - **Download time:** 765 ms - **Static scan time:** 3520 ms - **AI review time:** 21907 ms - **Total time:** 26194 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 identified. The install hook scaffolds the package's own configuration, while the flagged command execution gathers Git metadata for reporting. - **Trigger:** Package installation triggers the configuration scaffold; reporter use triggers Git metadata collection. - **Impact:** No confirmed malicious effect or attack surface was established. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-09T21:52:43.267Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The setup script writes .testrelic/testrelic-config.json when absent and skips CI. The reporter runs fixed Git commands to collect repository metadata. - **Rationale:** Source inspection shows an install-time setup script that scaffolds the package's own configuration and Git commands used to collect repository metadata. The flagged execution and network indicators do not establish malicious behavior. - **Files touched:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.cjs, dist/reporter-entry.js, dist/index.cjs ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 95.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The postinstall hook is declared in package.json and invokes the package's setup script., The setup script creates only the product's own configuration file, skips CI, and leaves an existing file unchanged., The flagged command execution reads Git branch, commit, and author metadata for the reporter., The CommonJS entrypoint contains the same Git metadata collection behavior. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @testrelic/playwright-analytics@2.16.4. - Review the evidence and your use of @testrelic/playwright-analytics@2.16.4 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.
