## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 10 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:** 0.2.7
- **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.

Source inspection found a user-invoked local development platform, including an approval-gated AI agent, but no lifecycle execution or concrete malicious chain. Scanner signals reflect legitimate dynamic project-route loading, AI networking, and placeholder credentials.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 92.0%
- **Started:** 2026-07-13T11:27:26.233Z
- **Finished:** 2026-07-13T11:28:52.523Z
- **Download time:** 250 ms
- **Static scan time:** 562 ms
- **AI review time:** 85478 ms
- **Total time:** 86290 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 install-time or import-time attack behavior was found. The package offers an explicitly invoked local AI coding-agent feature with project-scoped file and shell capabilities.

- **Trigger:** User runs \`cresco dev\` and uses the local \`/\_ai\` dashboard feature; AI requests require user invocation/login or configured provider keys.

- **Impact:** An approved agent command can affect the user's project, but no stealth persistence, credential harvesting, foreign agent-config mutation, or unconsented execution was found.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/cresco.js, src/core/agent-exec.js, src/core/agent-fs.js, src/ai/provider.js, src/server/dev-server.js, src/server/routes-loader.js, src/server/manifest.js

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Approval-gated local agent tools and package-aligned hosted AI proxy.

- **Rationale:** Source inspection found a user-invoked local development platform, including an approval-gated AI agent, but no lifecycle execution or concrete malicious chain. Scanner signals reflect legitimate dynamic project-route loading, AI networking, and placeholder credentials.

- **Files touched:** src/core/agent-exec.js, src/core/agent-fs.js, src/ai/provider.js, src/server/dev-server.js, src/server/routes-loader.js, src/cli/ai.js

- **Network endpoints:** https://api.crescodb.com

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 92.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** \`src/core/agent-exec.js\` runs shell commands in the project after agent approval., \`src/core/agent-fs.js\` permits project-scoped file writes and deletes., \`src/ai/provider.js\` sends AI requests to \`https://api.crescodb.com\` when user invokes AI features.

- **Evidence against:** \`package.json\` has no preinstall/install/postinstall lifecycle hooks., \`bin/cresco.js\` exposes behavior through explicit CLI commands., \`src/server/dev-server.js\` gates \`/\_ai\` tooling to localhost/first-party origins., \`src/core/agent-fs.js\` confines paths to the project and blocks \`.env\`, \`config.json\`, and database writes., \`src/server/routes-loader.js\` imports only the project's explicit custom routes file during dev reload., \`src/server/manifest.js\` contains example credentials, not a secret or exfiltration path.
