## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 8 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:** 2.20.1
- **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.

Static inspection shows a browser-oriented Bloom player with audio/activity assets and bundled frontend libraries, with no install-time execution, shell/native loading, credential harvesting, or AI-agent control-surface mutation. Scanner hits map to benign bundled code, valid media assets, and package-aligned browser resource loading.

## Latest scan

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** No confirmed malicious attack surface was established. Runtime behavior is a browser Bloom book/player that loads book content, audio, fonts, and package-aligned analytics/resources when used.

- **Trigger:** user imports library or opens dist/bloomplayer.htm in a browser/WebView

- **Impact:** normal Bloom book rendering and audio/activity playback

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, src/shared/narration.ts, src/shared/dragActivityRuntime.ts, lib/shared.es.js, dist/bloomPlayer.CzxSC7ao.js, dist/right\_answer-XEe3HakR.mp3, dist/wrong\_answer-BhCi5k6f.mp3

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-07-09T23:27:01.206Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** browser DOM/audio player and bundled UI code

- **Rationale:** Static inspection shows a browser-oriented Bloom player with audio/activity assets and bundled frontend libraries, with no install-time execution, shell/native loading, credential harvesting, or AI-agent control-surface mutation. Scanner hits map to benign bundled code, valid media assets, and package-aligned browser resource loading.

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 93.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no lifecycle scripts or bin; export is lib/shared.es.js., src/shared/narration.ts only creates/loads audio elements from urlPrefix()/audio/\<id\>.mp3 for Bloom playback., src/shared/dragActivityRuntime.ts uses bundled MP3 defaults and page attributes for activity sounds; no shell or filesystem APIs., Bidi/invisible Unicode scan over package source returned no matches despite scanner hint., MP3 files are valid MPEG audio assets, not executable payloads., Network URLs in dist are Bloom/player docs, fonts, analytics, and bundled library references; no credential harvesting or exfiltration code found.

## Affected versions and remediation

- Review the evidence and your use of bloom-player@2.20.1 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report.
