## Verdict summary
**Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 19 finding(s) warrant review before installing.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Matched warn-list
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** None published
- **Selected version:** 0.1.49
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

The AI recommended clean, but the final policy action is warn. This report does not record a matching static-policy override reason.

AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

This is a user-invoked TODOforAI coding CLI. It talks to the configured product API, runs a documented device login, and may install or start a first-party local bridge. There are no npm install hooks and no hidden exfiltration path.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** This is a user-invoked TODOforAI coding CLI. It talks to the configured product API, runs a documented device login, and may install or start a first-party local bridge. There are no npm install hooks and no hidden exfiltration path.

- **Trigger:** The user runs the published CLI binaries such as todoforai-cli or tfa-cli, not npm install.

- **Impact:** No confirmed malicious impact; file and shell access require running the CLI and the local companion bridge.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-19T02:39:10.059Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Documented AI CLI with optional first-party local bridge

- **Rationale:** Scanner flags come from a large bundled AI CLI that combines env access, network calls, device login, and child\_process in one file; those primitives match the documented TODOforAI product and are not install-time malware. No unconsented lifecycle mutation, secret theft, or unrelated exfiltration is present in source.

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 86.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Final policy explanation:** The AI recommended clean, but the final policy action is warn. This report does not record a matching static-policy override reason.

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall scripts; prepublishOnly only rebuilds the CLI bundle., The published bin is a user-invoked launcher that loads dist/todoforai-cli.js, or local src under Bun., API calls use a configurable TODOforAI base URL that defaults to https://api.todofor.ai and send this product's own API key as x-api-key., Browser login is a device-code flow against that API; the returned URL is opened locally and the issued key is stored per API URL., child\_process starts the first-party todoforai-bridge binary or, if it is missing, runs the vendor installer from https://todofor.ai/bridge., Shell, file, and editor ACP features are the documented product and run only after the user launches the CLI.

- **Evidence against:** If the bridge binary is missing, a CLI run can execute curl piped to sh from https://todofor.ai/bridge., --api-url is unrestricted, and readCredential can fall back to a legacy top-level apiToken or apiKey., The bundled file also contains syntax highlighters, so combined env, network, and spawn matches are noisy.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @todoforai/cli@0.1.49.

- Review the evidence and your use of @todoforai/cli@0.1.49 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.
