## 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:** 0.73.0
- **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 sources show a global-install hook with an explicit agent-selection gate and a login flow tied to MAX's web client. The required clean citation set exceeds the 256-citation limit, so the complete runtime surface cannot be certified from this review.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** No concrete attack was identified in the inspected install and login paths. The full runtime surface remains uncertified because required clean-review citations exceed the output limit.

- **Trigger:** Global npm installation triggers the postinstall hook; selecting an agent through configuration enables skill installation. Browser token retrieval occurs during a user-started login.

- **Impact:** The inspected paths show opt-in agent setup and MAX login behavior; no unrelated credential recipient or unconsented mutation was established.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-25T00:02:54.925Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The hook can write the package's skill into selected agent folders. The browser login reads MAX web-client local storage through a temporary browser profile.

- **Rationale:** Inspected sources show a global-install hook with an explicit agent-selection gate and a login flow tied to MAX's web client. The required clean citation set exceeds the 256-citation limit, so the complete runtime surface cannot be certified from this review.

- **Files touched:** package.json, install/postinstall.mjs, dist/install/postinstall.js, dist/session/browser.js, dist/protocol/connection.js, skills/max-cli/SKILL.md

- **Network endpoints:** wss://api.oneme.ru/websocket

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Manual Review

- **Confidence:** 73.0%

- **Recommended action:** manual\_review

- **Intent class:** Unknown

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **AI review observations:** The npm postinstall hook runs its setup only for global installs., Agent skill installation requires an explicit agent selection; the unset and none values skip it., The installed skill directs agents to get the owner's explicit request before sending messages., The required clean review coverage exceeds the citation limit, so the full runtime surface could not be certified.

- **Evidence against:** The browser login reads a token from the MAX web client's local storage and uses a temporary browser profile that is removed on exit., The inspected connection targets MAX's WebSocket endpoint.
