Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 17 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:** 0.26.0 - **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 manifest and inspected flagged source files show no install lifecycle hook or concrete malicious behavior. The flagged process and network primitives are consistent with runtime subprocess, OAuth, transcoding, and CLI functions. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 87.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-12T04:21:12.640Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-12T04:21:51.480Z - **Download time:** 1274 ms - **Static scan time:** 9259 ms - **AI review time:** 28307 ms - **Total time:** 38840 ms 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 inspected process and network operations support package features and are activated by their relevant runtime actions. - **Trigger:** Calling the runtime subprocess, OAuth exchange, audio transcoding, or CLI run functionality. - **Impact:** No confirmed malicious effect or attack surface was established. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-12T04:21:51.480Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The package starts child processes for application execution, OAuth browser/token flows, audio transcoding, and CLI execution; inspected excerpts show no hidden install-time trigger. - **Rationale:** The manifest and inspected flagged source files show no install lifecycle hook or concrete malicious behavior. The flagged process and network primitives are consistent with runtime subprocess, OAuth, transcoding, and CLI functions. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 87.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json contains ordinary development scripts and no install lifecycle hook in the inspected scripts section., The IPC child process runs an application subprocess session with output limits., OAuth exchanges tokens with the supplied token URL as part of an OAuth flow., The ffmpeg helper invokes the local ffmpeg program to transcode input audio., The CLI starts Node with shell disabled to run compiled output. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to agency-lang@0.26.0. - Review the evidence and your use of agency-lang@0.26.0 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
