## 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:** 1.18.0
- **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 hook, and the flagged process execution is part of the explicit docs setup feature. Credential-bearing requests use the configured service destination, while webhook destinations are supplied by the caller; no concrete attack behavior was found.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0%
- **Started:** 2026-10-20T09:55:49.905Z

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. Network requests and process execution are tied to caller-invoked CLI or library operations.

- **Trigger:** A user invokes a CLI feature or calls a library API.

- **Impact:** No package-directed credential disclosure, install-time mutation, or other confirmed attack surface was established.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-20T09:56:50.477Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The CLI sends a supplied API key to its configured service URL; webhook helpers send data to a caller-supplied URL. Docs setup invokes the detected package manager in the selected target directory.

- **Rationale:** The manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and the flagged process execution is part of the explicit docs setup feature. Credential-bearing requests use the configured service destination, while webhook destinations are supplied by the caller; no concrete attack behavior was found.

### 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 a CLI and lists no install lifecycle hook; its scripts are build, lint, test, and development tasks., The CLI’s package-manager invocation belongs to the docs-site setup path and runs in the target directory., The push command selects the configured service base URL and sends its API key to that service., Library webhook requests use a caller-provided URL and payload.

## Affected versions and remediation
