## 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:** 14.3.198
- **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.

The scanner's avatar finding is not supported by the inspected code: the utility is an explicit administrative migration with a dry-run default and gated writes. I cannot mark the package clean because a selected runtime dependency, @vibes.diy/pouf/lint, remains unverified in the available source snapshot.

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 malicious behavior was established in the inspected flagged code. The source of a selected runtime lint dependency could not be verified.

- **Trigger:** Use of the agent design check that imports the lint dependency.

- **Impact:** No attack impact is confirmed; the dependency's behavior remains unresolved.

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

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-27T18:32:17.410Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The check imports @vibes.diy/pouf/lint, but its package source was not available in the inspected snapshot.

- **Rationale:** The scanner's avatar finding is not supported by the inspected code: the utility is an explicit administrative migration with a dry-run default and gated writes. I cannot mark the package clean because a selected runtime dependency, @vibes.diy/pouf/lint, remains unverified in the available source snapshot.

- **Files touched:** package.json, intern/agent-design-check.js, usage-report/backfill-avatars.js, usage-report/backfill-first-message-embeddings.js, intern/first-message-embedding.js

- **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 manifest points to index.js and declares named administrative scripts; it has no install lifecycle hook., The manifest pins @vibes.diy/pouf at 14.3.198, and intern/agent-design-check.js imports its lint subpath; that dependency's source was not available for review., The flagged avatar backfill defaults to a dry run and requires --apply plus an admin database URL before writes., The embedding helper sends its API key to the backend URL supplied in its dependencies; its administrative backfill requires an explicit --apply and configured backend URL and key., The embedding helper loads text from the selected app's chat context or app source before requesting an embedding.

- **Evidence against:** The avatar utility transforms avatar images and writes only during the explicit apply pass; its behavior does not establish credential or record exfiltration., The embedding transfer is tied to a configured backend endpoint and an explicit administrative backfill, with no unrelated recipient established by inspected source.

## Affected versions and remediation

- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@vibes.diy/api-svc@14.3.198/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 = 0.625
