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. 12 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:** 0.7.3 - **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: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The bundle contains VM-based execution and network access, but the inspected code ties them to configured API monitoring and an operator-selected cloud endpoint. No concrete malicious behavior was established. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-07T08:02:49.441Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-07T08:03:27.629Z - **Download time:** 2319 ms - **Static scan time:** 4674 ms - **AI review time:** 31194 ms - **Total time:** 38188 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 CLI operates as a private API monitor using a cloud URL and credentials supplied through environment variables. - **Trigger:** Running the api-spector-agent CLI with APP\_URL and an agent or runtime token configured. - **Impact:** No malicious impact was established from the inspected source; request execution is part of the monitor workflow. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-07T08:03:27.629Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The agent polls its configured cloud service for monitor definitions, runs the configured requests and scripts, and reports results to that service. - **Rationale:** The bundle contains VM-based execution and network access, but the inspected code ties them to configured API monitoring and an operator-selected cloud endpoint. No concrete malicious behavior was established. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json exposes the bundled CLI as its executable and main entry point., The CLI uses operator-supplied APP\_URL and tokens for its cloud connection., The bundle runs configured request scripts in a timed VM context as part of monitor execution. - **Evidence against:** The inspected entry point polls monitor definitions from the configured cloud service and sends monitor results back there., The VM and dynamic execution support configured monitor scripts; inspection found no concrete attack behavior. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @testsmith/api-spector-agent@0.7.3. - Review the evidence and your use of @testsmith/api-spector-agent@0.7.3 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.
