## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 14 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:** 0.72.0
- **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: manual review; recommendation: manual review. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

Inspected source shows guarded global-install setup and a MAX web login flow, with no concrete attack established. The required clean review covers 269 distinct paths, exceeding the 256-citation limit, so the package cannot be marked clean under this review’s citation requirements.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** No concrete attack behavior was identified in the inspected source. The review remains unresolved because the required clean citation coverage exceeds the available citation limit.

- **Trigger:** A global npm installation runs the postinstall wrapper; a selected agent target enables skill installation.

- **Impact:** No attack impact was established in the inspected source.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-24T16:26:26.337Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The hook gates setup on global-install status and an agent-selection environment variable; the browser login code reads a token from the MAX web client’s local storage.

- **Rationale:** Inspected source shows guarded global-install setup and a MAX web login flow, with no concrete attack established. The required clean review covers 269 distinct paths, exceeding the 256-citation limit, so the package cannot be marked clean under this review’s citation requirements.

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Manual Review

- **Confidence:** 97.0%

- **Recommended action:** manual\_review

- **Intent class:** Unknown

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **AI review observations:** package.json defines a postinstall hook and a prepare hook that installs a project Git hook., The postinstall wrapper runs its setup only for global npm installs., The setup writes the bundled agent skill only when MAX\_INSTALL\_AGENT or TG\_INSTALL\_AGENT selects a target., The browser login code uses a temporary profile, reads the MAX web client’s stored login token, and removes the profile when it exits.

```

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

Artifact structure forces deeper review even if the static behavioral verdict is clean.

### 13. High: Semantic Analysis Limited
- **Category:** Scanner Coverage
- **Confidence:** 100.0%
- **Path:** dist/bot/transport.js\#virtual:normalized:round1
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@wirecat/max-cli@0.72.0/dist/bot/transport.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):

```javascript
matchType = previous_version_dangerous_delta
matchedPackage = @wirecat/max-cli@0.64.0
matchedIdentity = npm:QHdpcmVjYXQvbWF4LWNsaQ:0.64.0
