## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 16 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:** 0.5.17-staging.927.1
- **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 scanner conflates bundled SDK/Sentry code and explicit maintenance commands with malicious behavior. Source shows scoped, global-install-only pruning and explicit runtime installation, without a concrete malicious chain.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0%
- **Started:** 2026-07-23T11:12:10.055Z
- **Finished:** 2026-07-23T11:13:03.628Z
- **Download time:** 765 ms
- **Static scan time:** 6898 ms

- **Total time:** 53573 ms

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 confirmed malicious attack surface. Postinstall performs guarded global-install dependency pruning; runtime package installs require explicit CLI commands.

- **Trigger:** npm global install; explicit daemon install-codex or daemon install-claude command

- **Impact:** May remove bundled/unused runtime dependencies from this package's global dependency tree; no exfiltration or foreign agent-control mutation confirmed.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/prune-codex-runtime-binary.mjs, scripts/prune-claude-runtime-binary.mjs, scripts/prune-claude-sdk-deps.mjs, dist/cli/index.mjs, dist/connect-token-D1b-ZEWH.mjs

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-07-23T11:13:03.628Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Guarded dependency pruning and user-invoked runtime installation

- **Rationale:** The scanner conflates bundled SDK/Sentry code and explicit maintenance commands with malicious behavior. Source shows scoped, global-install-only pruning and explicit runtime installation, without a concrete malicious chain.

- **Files touched:** scripts/prune-codex-runtime-binary.mjs, scripts/prune-claude-runtime-binary.mjs, scripts/prune-claude-sdk-deps.mjs

- **Network endpoints:** https://5d27fb42311f9f8764ccc38823ee3ff4@o4510502633209856.ingest.us.sentry.io/4511646359486464

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 88.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json runs three postinstall pruning scripts., Pruning scripts delete selected SDK runtime/dependency directories only during global installs.

- **Evidence against:** scripts/prune-\*.mjs skip local installs and source workspaces., Runtime installation is only exposed by explicit daemon install-claude/install-codex CLI commands., No source evidence of credential harvesting, command-output exfiltration, remote payload execution, or agent-config hijacking., dist/connect-token-D1b-ZEWH.mjs configures Sentry redaction for tokens, prompts, command output, and local paths.
