## Verdict summary
**Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 11 finding(s) warrant review before installing.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Telemetry warning (can be blocked)
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Telemetry
- **Selected version:** 0.1.2
- **Selected version is latest:** Yes
- **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: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

The package’s rewrite flow is user-triggered, but its host handler silently logs session identifiers to a fixed local path. This is an undisclosed privacy risk, though the inspected code does not show those log values being sent over the network.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0%

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:** Undisclosed runtime logging exposes session identifiers in a local file.

- **Trigger:** A user clicks the rewrite button and the host handles the request.

- **Impact:** Session identifiers may be exposed to anyone with access to that log file; no external transmission of these logged values was identified.

- **Evidence paths:** lib/index.js, README.md

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-30T09:23:58.460Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The handler appends active session IDs, request session ID, and draft/context lengths to a hard-coded Windows path.

- **Rationale:** The package’s rewrite flow is user-triggered, but its host handler silently logs session identifiers to a fixed local path. This is an undisclosed privacy risk, though the inspected code does not show those log values being sent over the network.

- **Files touched:** C:/Users/sam15/Documents/deepseek-harness/default-workspace/.tmp/ask-cases-rewrite.log

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 90.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Unknown

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** The host appends runtime log entries to a hard-coded path: C:/Users/sam15/Documents/deepseek-harness/default-workspace/.tmp/ask-cases-rewrite.log., When a rewrite request includes a session ID, the code logs up to five active session IDs and whether the requested session exists., Rewrite logs include the session ID and draft/context lengths; the log call does not include the draft or context text., The README says the plugin does not write session logs, contrary to the runtime logging code.

- **Evidence against:** The client sends a rewrite request after the user clicks the plugin button., The package has no lifecycle scripts, and the searched client source did not contain the flagged bidi control characters.
