## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 13 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:** 1.17.0
- **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 has no install lifecycle hooks, and the library entrypoints expose formatter functionality. The scanner’s credential-transfer hint resolves to an explicit push command using a configurable destination and the package’s stated cloud default, so the inspected source does not support a malicious verdict.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0%
- **Started:** 2026-10-20T09:55:55.948Z

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 source. The API-key transfer occurs through an explicit CLI push action to a caller-configurable URL or the package’s stated cloud service.

- **Trigger:** A user runs the executable-stories push subcommand with a run file and API key.

- **Impact:** The inspected source does not establish credential theft or another concrete attack.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-20T09:56:39.403Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The CLI sends the key as a bearer credential to the URL selected by the --url option, environment setting, or documented service default.

- **Rationale:** The manifest has no install lifecycle hooks, and the library entrypoints expose formatter functionality. The scanner’s credential-transfer hint resolves to an explicit push command using a configurable destination and the package’s stated cloud default, so the inspected source does not support a malicious verdict.

- **Files touched:** package.json, dist/index.cjs, dist/index.js, dist/cli.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 exposes formatter entrypoints and has no install lifecycle hooks., The CommonJS entrypoint exports formatter APIs; the ESM entrypoint builds snapshots from test results., The CLI runs push only for the explicit push subcommand, requires an API key, and sends it to the configured URL or the package’s stated service default.

- **Evidence against:** The push command accepts a configurable URL, but the inspected default is the package’s stated cloud service; no fixed unofficial gateway was found., The CLI includes process-launch helpers for user-invoked report opening and site setup; these do not establish an attack.

const xrayBase = (config.xrayBaseUrl ?? DEFAULT_XRAY_BASE).replace(/\/$/, "");
const jiraBase = config.jiraBaseUrl.replace(/\/$/, "");
XRAY_CLIENT_ID and XRAY_CLIENT_SECRET come from Jira -> Apps -> Xray -> API Keys. A Jira API token is a different credential and is rejected here.`
