## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 15 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:** 0.17.4
- **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 source ties flagged installation, process, and network activity to explicit setup/fix commands or package-owned runtime setup. Preset writes are scoped to the DSH home directory, and the optional account action requires explicit confirmation; no concrete attack behavior was established.

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

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 in the inspected package sources. The flagged process, network, and file operations support the package’s Windows setup and runtime features.

- **Trigger:** Setup, fix, or plugin activation, initiated by the user or host application.

- **Impact:** No confirmed harmful effect; existing preset files are preserved, and the Star action requires an explicit answer.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-19T17:32:32.843Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Setup installs the package’s own DSH profile bundle and presets; plugin activation can add package-owned presets under the DSH home directory when local requirements are present.

- **Rationale:** The source ties flagged installation, process, and network activity to explicit setup/fix commands or package-owned runtime setup. Preset writes are scoped to the DSH home directory, and the optional account action requires explicit confirmation; no concrete attack behavior was established.

- **Files touched:** package.json, bin/cli.mjs, bin/setup-consent.mjs, lib/index.js, lib/preset-install.js

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 91.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json limits its prepare hook to building the package., The CLI runs setup only for an explicit setup command; profile installation is user-invoked., Runtime preset installation targets DSH\_HOME/.agent-presets and leaves an existing preset roster in place., Plugin activation installs only presets whose required local shell or BusyBox is already available., The GitHub Star command requires an explicit --yes or --no answer.

- **Evidence against:** The scanner flags shell, network, and runtime package-manager calls, but inspected code ties them to explicit setup or fix commands and package-aligned installation.

## Affected versions and remediation
