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:** 26.10.10-75 - **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. Inspected source shows a postinstall hint and setup-time project configuration writes gated by --write. The flagged edit and agent configuration behavior does not establish an install-triggered attack. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-10T16:39:50.383Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-10T16:40:21.426Z - **Download time:** 1040 ms - **Static scan time:** 3416 ms - **AI review time:** 26585 ms - **Total time:** 31043 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 install hook emits a hint, while project configuration and agent shim writes occur through an explicit setup path. - **Trigger:** Package installation invokes postinstall; setup writes require an explicit --write option. - **Impact:** No confirmed harmful effect or unconsented control-surface mutation was established. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-10T16:40:21.426Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The postinstall script writes a message to stderr. The wizard plans project configuration and shim changes, then applies them only when the write gate passes. - **Rationale:** Inspected source shows a postinstall hint and setup-time project configuration writes gated by --write. The flagged edit and agent configuration behavior does not establish an install-triggered attack. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json runs a postinstall script, and that script only writes a hint to stderr when invoked directly., The pillars wizard defaults to dry run and applies configuration changes only when explicitly passed --write., The wizard writes project configuration and agent shims through its setup path; its write gate requires a non-dry-run plan with no refusals., The edit path resolves requested files within the workspace before planning edits. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to chemx@26.10.10-75. - Review the evidence and your use of chemx@26.10.10-75 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.
