## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 18 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:** 0.410.0
- **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 exposes a user-run CLI without lifecycle hooks. The flagged settings mutation is an explicit scaffold feature for the package’s own mod, and the inspected network and test paths did not establish malicious behavior.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 97.0%

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 attack surface was identified. The reviewed execution, configuration, and network behavior maps to explicit CLI setup, local workspace features, guarded prompt routing, and test code.

- **Trigger:** The CLI runs when a user invokes it; workspace installation and prompt routing are separate user-selected features.

- **Impact:** No unauthorized credential transfer, account action, or remote code execution was established.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-25T04:12:15.644Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The scaffold copies the bundled kit and may offer its own cockpit mod in repository settings. Prompt routing uses a local workspace endpoint and is gated by a saved key, repository consent, and an enabled setting.

- **Rationale:** The manifest exposes a user-run CLI without lifecycle hooks. The flagged settings mutation is an explicit scaffold feature for the package’s own mod, and the inspected network and test paths did not establish malicious behavior.

- **Files touched:** package.json, bin/create-pmos.js, bin/cockpit-install.js, payload/mods/pmos-cockpit/hooks/register.tsx, workspace/server.js, workspace/lib/jev-route.js, workspace/premium-viewer-share-test.js

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 97.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The package exposes a user-run CLI, with no lifecycle hook shown in its manifest; the scaffold copies the bundled kit and offers the first-party cockpit mod through repository settings., The settings change is limited to offering the package’s own mod, preserves existing values, and can be skipped with --no-mod., Prompt routing uses a workspace-provided local endpoint and requires a saved key, repository consent, and an enabled routing setting., The flagged share-test code uses a synthetic secret that it verifies is refused; the other cited paths are bundled workflow, UI, guard, fixture, or test modules, and inspection found no separate confirmed attack.

## Affected versions and remediation
