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. 14 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:** 0.8.0 - **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 manifest has no install-time hooks, and the executable’s network activity is tied to a required, operator-configured cloud URL and token. Sending monitor request and response data to that configured service is consistent with the private runner’s function; the scanner’s suspicious signals do not establish a separate attack. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 96.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-19T13:57:47.917Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-19T13:58:41.552Z - **Download time:** 1020 ms - **Static scan time:** 6555 ms - **AI review time:** 46059 ms - **Total time:** 53635 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 executable acts as a configured private API runner and sends monitor results to the cloud service selected by the operator. - **Trigger:** The operator starts the CLI with APP\_URL and an agent token configured. - **Impact:** Monitoring request and response data are sent to the operator-configured service as part of the package’s stated function; no separate malicious transfer behavior was established. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-19T13:58:41.552Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The agent polls the configured service for due checks, runs them, and posts their results to that service. - **Rationale:** The manifest has no install-time hooks, and the executable’s network activity is tied to a required, operator-configured cloud URL and token. Sending monitor request and response data to that configured service is consistent with the private runner’s function; the scanner’s suspicious signals do not establish a separate attack. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json exposes dist/index.cjs as the package entrypoint and CLI; it declares no lifecycle hooks., The agent reads its cloud URL and authentication token from environment variables, then polls that configured service., It posts monitor results, including request and response headers and bodies, to the configured cloud service as part of its runner workflow., The executable requires the cloud URL and an agent token before starting; no fixed credential recipient or hidden installation trigger was identified. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @testsmith/api-spector-agent@0.8.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @testsmith/api-spector-agent@0.8.0 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.
