Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 26 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:** 2.0.281 - **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 similarity labels are not proof of malicious behavior. Source inspection found no package lifecycle hook or concrete attack; the flagged settings changes are part of explicit FRAIM setup and route token metrics to a local receiver. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 84.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-20T00:04:21.409Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-20T00:06:04.416Z - **Download time:** 759 ms - **Static scan time:** 3805 ms - **AI review time:** 98442 ms - **Total time:** 103007 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 attack surface was identified. Explicit CLI setup can enable Claude token metrics through FRAIM's local receiver. - **Trigger:** A user runs the project setup or IDE setup command with Claude Code detected. - **Impact:** Token metrics become available to the local FRAIM proxy; inspected source did not establish unrelated credential transfer or harmful behavior. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-20T00:06:04.416Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The setup adds telemetry variables to Claude Code settings and directs OTLP metrics to localhost:4318; existing environment values are preserved. - **Rationale:** The scanner similarity labels are not proof of malicious behavior. Source inspection found no package lifecycle hook or concrete attack; the flagged settings changes are part of explicit FRAIM setup and route token metrics to a local receiver. - **Files touched:** dist/src/cli/setup/claude-code-telemetry.js, ~/.claude/settings.json - **Network endpoints:** http://localhost:4318 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 84.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json exposes the CLI entrypoints and ends after dependencies without a lifecycle script., The Claude setup commands enable token metrics through an OTLP endpoint on localhost and merge the settings without replacing existing environment values., Agent integration helpers install FRAIM-specific artifacts during setup; inspected project writes are constrained to the project root., The flagged runtime paths implement CLI commands, diagnostics, local configuration checks, and scoped repository helpers; inspection found no concrete attack behavior. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to fraim@2.0.281. - Review the evidence and your use of fraim@2.0.281 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. ## Public findings ### 1.
