## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 12 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:** 14.3.178
- **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.

Source inspection did not confirm the scanner’s claimed exfiltration: the flagged avatar utility is an explicitly gated administrative backfill. The package uses selected runtime dependencies whose source could not be verified, so the review cannot establish a clean verdict.

## Latest scan

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 concrete attack was established in the inspected source. Review remains incomplete because selected runtime dependencies could not be verified.

- **Trigger:** No attack trigger was confirmed; the inspected avatar write path requires an explicit --apply argument.

- **Impact:** No malicious impact was confirmed; the unresolved dependency behavior prevents a clean determination.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, intern/agent-design-check.js, intern/write-apps.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-22T23:54:28.756Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The avatar utility fetches and transforms avatar images, then writes them only in apply mode. The unavailable look and pouf dependency sources leave part of the runtime behavior unresolved.

- **Rationale:** Source inspection did not confirm the scanner’s claimed exfiltration: the flagged avatar utility is an explicitly gated administrative backfill. The package uses selected runtime dependencies whose source could not be verified, so the review cannot establish a clean verdict.

- **Network endpoints:** https://vibes.diy

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Manual Review

- **Confidence:** 78.0%

- **Recommended action:** manual\_review

- **Intent class:** Unknown

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **AI review observations:** The package declares @vibes.diy/look and @vibes.diy/pouf as runtime dependencies, and application code imports them., The avatar backfill selects its write mode with --apply; without it, the script reports a dry run and returns before writing., The inspected design code uses the unavailable dependencies for palette and look-related functionality.

- **Evidence against:** The inspected avatar backfill has an explicit write gate; its source does not establish an attack.

### 9. Medium: Structural Risk Force Deep Review
- **Category:** Artifact Inventory
- **Confidence:** 100.0%

### 10. High: Semantic Analysis Limited
- **Category:** Scanner Coverage
- **Confidence:** 100.0%
- **Path:** intern/design-repair.js\#virtual:normalized:round1
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@vibes.diy/api-svc@14.3.178/intern/design-repair.js%23virtual%3Anormalized%3Around1>)

A bounded semantic-analysis stage reached its safety limit; remaining detectors completed, but this package requires AI review.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```text
stage = ast_semantic_analysis; reason = ast_parse_error; limitedFiles = 5
```

### 11. High: Previous Version Dangerous Delta
- **Category:** Supply Chain

- **Path:** intern/opens-check.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@vibes.diy/api-svc@14.3.178/intern/opens-check.js>)

This package version adds a dangerous source file absent from the previous stored version; route for source-aware review.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
matchType = previous_version_dangerous_delta
matchedPackage = @vibes.diy/api-svc@14.3.125
matchedIdentity = npm:QHZpYmVzLmRpeS9hcGktc3Zj:14.3.125
similarity = 0.700
summary = stored previous version shares package body but lacks this dangerous source file
```

### 12. Low: Suspicious Dependency Evidence
- **Category:** Dependency
