## 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:** 0.75.0
- **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 a global-install guard and an explicit agent-selection gate for package-owned skill setup, with no confirmed attack in these paths. The required clean citation coverage exceeds the output limit, so the package remains unresolved.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** No attack was confirmed in the inspected install or browser-token paths; the required clean-source coverage is too large to complete within the citation limit.

- **Trigger:** A global npm install activates the postinstall wrapper; agent skill setup additionally requires an agent-selection environment variable.

- **Impact:** No concrete harmful effect was established in the inspected paths; the package remains unresolved under the required coverage rules.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-25T14:31:57.986Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The inspected hook conditionally writes the package-owned skill to the selected agent skill directory. Browser-token retrieval is limited to the MAX web page.

- **Rationale:** Inspected source shows a global-install guard and an explicit agent-selection gate for package-owned skill setup, with no confirmed attack in these paths. The required clean citation coverage exceeds the output limit, so the package remains unresolved.

- **Files touched:** install/postinstall.mjs, dist/install/postinstall.js, .lpm-dependency-evidence-2a8670b2-5ff9-43a4-960c-21ab718accfe/0/npm-linux/dist/skill/index.js, dist/session/browser.js

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Manual Review

- **Confidence:** 74.0%

- **Recommended action:** manual\_review

- **Intent class:** Unknown

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **AI review observations:** The postinstall hook runs its setup only for global npm installs., Agent skill installation requires an agent-selection environment variable; unset or "none" skips it., The skill writer installs the package-owned skill into the selected agent skill directory., Browser token retrieval reads a page only when its URL begins with the MAX web origin.

- **Evidence against:** The required clean citation coverage exceeds the 256-citation limit, so the full package cannot be cleared under the requested coverage rules.
