## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 14 low-signal pattern(s) reviewed.

- **Verdict:** Clean
- **Product-default install policy:** Allow
- **Firewall policy:** No policy match
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** None published
- **Selected version:** 0.82.0
- **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: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

The lifecycle hook performs no setup for ordinary local installs and only writes an agent skill when a target is explicitly selected. The flagged browser code supports interactive MAX login and reads the token from MAX’s own web client; the reviewed paths show no unrelated credential destination or automatic account action.

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 attack was identified; the reviewed install and login behavior matches a MAX terminal client.

- **Trigger:** Global npm installation for setup; an explicit login command for browser-based authentication.

- **Impact:** No unrelated credential transfer, unsolicited account action, or concealed execution was found in the reviewed paths.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-29T20:19:15.643Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The postinstall wrapper gates setup on a global install, and agent skill installation requires an explicit environment selection. Interactive login reads the token from MAX’s own web client.

- **Rationale:** The lifecycle hook performs no setup for ordinary local installs and only writes an agent skill when a target is explicitly selected. The flagged browser code supports interactive MAX login and reads the token from MAX’s own web client; the reviewed paths show no unrelated credential destination or automatic account action.

- **Network endpoints:** web.max.ru, api.oneme.ru, platform-api2.max.ru, max.ru

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 91.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The postinstall wrapper only invokes setup for global npm installs., Global setup installs an agent skill only when MAX\_INSTALL\_AGENT is explicitly set to a supported target; otherwise it reports that no skill was installed., Browser token retrieval is part of a MAX web login flow, and the temporary browser profile is removed when the flow ends., The client’s session connection uses MAX’s web service, and the package describes itself as a terminal client for MAX Messenger.

- **Evidence against:** The package defines postinstall and prepare lifecycle scripts; prepare runs lefthook installation., The interactive login flow reads the MAX authentication token from the MAX web client’s local storage.

- **Confidence:** 100.0%
- **Path:** dist/bot/transport.js\#virtual:normalized:round1
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@wirecat/max-cli@0.82.0/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):

```text
stage = ast_semantic_analysis; reason = ast_parse_error; limitedFiles = 3
```

### 14. High: Previous Version Dangerous Delta

```javascript
matchType = previous_version_dangerous_delta
matchedPackage = @wirecat/max-cli@0.64.0
matchedIdentity = npm:QHdpcmVjYXQvbWF4LWNsaQ:0.64.0
similarity = 0.692
summary = stored previous version shares package body but lacks this dangerous source file
