Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 12 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. The flagged process execution and added relay file support the package’s stated CLI and lifecycle-logging purpose. The reviewed flow filters event data and writes it locally; no malicious action or external data transfer was identified. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 96.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-01T08:52:29.490Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-01T08:53:19.720Z - **Download time:** 1274 ms - **Static scan time:** 6009 ms - **AI review time:** 42945 ms - **Total time:** 50230 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 reviewed hook relay records selected session lifecycle data locally. - **Trigger:** The user runs the CLI install command and later a configured harness lifecycle hook fires. - **Impact:** Local event logging under the user’s home directory; no external transmission was identified. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-01T08:53:19.720Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The relay filters the hook payload, adds repository, branch, session, and working-directory context, then appends an event to a JSONL file. - **Rationale:** The flagged process execution and added relay file support the package’s stated CLI and lifecycle-logging purpose. The reviewed flow filters event data and writes it locally; no malicious action or external data transfer was identified. - **Files touched:** ~/.codeassembly/events/\/\/\.jsonl, harness configuration files ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest exposes a CLI, and its wrapper loads the CLI entry point when invoked., The installer wires lifecycle hooks during an explicit install command; hook wiring can be disabled with an option., The relay filters hook input to selected fields and records event data in a local file under the user’s home directory., The relay does not send event data to a network endpoint in the reviewed flow. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to codeassembly@0.16.0. - Review the evidence and your use of codeassembly@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.
