## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 28 low-signal pattern(s) reviewed.

- **Verdict:** Manual Review
- **Product-default install policy:** Allow
- **Firewall policy:** No policy match
- **Public report status:** Under Review
- **Threat category:** Unknown
- **Selected version:** 1.6.4
- **Selected version is latest:** Yes
- **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: manual review; recommendation: manual review. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

Direct inspection did not independently substantiate the scanner's malicious similarity labels or establish block-worthy behavior. Manual review is required solely because mandatory clean citation coverage exceeds the permitted citation capacity.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Manual Review
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 95.0%
- **Started:** 2026-10-05T01:47:48.978Z

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:** Inspected source did not establish a concrete malicious attack. Lifecycle operations create package launchers and check the environment.

- **Trigger:** Installation activates environment checks and desktop shortcut creation; service operations are user-invoked.

- **Impact:** No malicious impact was established. The citation limit prevents the required clean publication coverage.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-05T01:49:35.681Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Inspected code uses local launchers and authenticated browser sessions for invoice retrieval; no confirmed attack mechanism was identified.

- **Rationale:** Direct inspection did not independently substantiate the scanner's malicious similarity labels or establish block-worthy behavior. Manual review is required solely because mandatory clean citation coverage exceeds the permitted citation capacity.

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Manual Review

- **Confidence:** 95.0%

- **Recommended action:** manual\_review

- **Intent class:** Unknown

- **False-positive risk:** High

- **AI review observations:** The manifest runs environment checks before installation and shortcut creation afterward., Install-time process termination requires an interactive affirmative answer., Desktop launcher scripts invoke this package's GUI and CLI commands., The Uber fetcher navigates to the intended Uber service., The Electron window enables context isolation and disables Node integration., Required clean coverage needs 15 distinct file citations, exceeding the eight-citation limit.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to invoice-scrape-agent@1.6.4.

- Review the evidence and your use of invoice-scrape-agent@1.6.4 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.
