Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## 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:** 0.16.0 - **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. This is a code-quality CLI with explicit hook-install and tool-download features, not an automatic install-time payload. The static credential-redirection and eval hints are not supported by the inspected source. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-08T00:15:49.987Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-08T00:17:14.052Z - **Download time:** 506 ms - **Static scan time:** 9335 ms - **AI review time:** 74223 ms - **Total time:** 84065 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 confirmed malicious attack surface was established. Agent configuration changes and downloads require explicit user commands; there is no install-time trigger. - **Trigger:** Explicit CLI commands such as hook install or aislop-tools. - **Impact:** No unconsented persistence, credential theft, or remote code execution was found. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-08T00:17:14.052Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** User-invoked hook setup and hash-checked tool download. - **Rationale:** This is a code-quality CLI with explicit hook-install and tool-download features, not an automatic install-time payload. The static credential-redirection and eval hints are not supported by the inspected source. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The CLI can install coding-agent hooks, but only through an explicit install command., The optional tool installer downloads fixed releases and verifies their hashes before copying binaries., The package checks npm for updates only after a user runs its CLI., The reported eval signal is a scanner-rule label, not an eval call. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, postinstall, or other lifecycle hook., No credential collection, credential redirection, or secret exfiltration was found., No remote model endpoint or remote command bridge was found., Framework spawning is opt-in through an enabled option. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to aislop@0.16.0. - Review the evidence and your use of aislop@0.16.0 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.
