## 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:** Matched warn-list
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Destructive Action
- **Selected version:** 1.2.738
- **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: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

This is a real destructive risk in a manually invoked helper, so warn users before publishing. The package manifest does not run that helper on install, and the SDK's reviewed credential handling is tied to Files.com API requests.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0%
- **Started:** 2026-11-03T01:40:36.797Z

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:** A manually invoked build helper deletes package-manager configuration files.

- **Trigger:** Only when build.sh is explicitly run.

- **Impact:** The user's registry settings or saved package-manager credentials in those files may be lost.

- **Evidence paths:** build.sh

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-11-03T01:41:49.779Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The script removes ~/.npmrc and ~/.yarnrc, then runs npm install and the build.

- **Rationale:** This is a real destructive risk in a manually invoked helper, so warn users before publishing. The package manifest does not run that helper on install, and the SDK's reviewed credential handling is tied to Files.com API requests.

- **Files touched:** ~/.npmrc, ~/.yarnrc

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 90.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Unknown

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** Running the shipped build.sh deletes ~/.npmrc and ~/.yarnrc before installing dependencies and building.

- **Evidence against:** package.json declares no install lifecycle hook, and its npm scripts do not invoke build.sh., The SDK uses a caller-provided Files.com API key for non-external requests; no unrelated credential flow was identified., The CLI wrapper delegates to an existing files-cli binary and does not download or execute code itself.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to files.com@1.2.738.

- Review the evidence and your use of files.com@1.2.738 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report.
- Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe.

```

### 8. Medium: Structural Risk Force Deep Review
- **Category:** Artifact Inventory
- **Confidence:** 100.0%

Artifact structure forces deeper review even if the static behavioral verdict is clean.

### 9. High: Semantic Analysis Limited
- **Category:** Scanner Coverage
- **Confidence:** 100.0%
- **Path:** bin/files-cli-ai
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/files.com@1.2.738/bin/files-cli-ai>)
