## 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:** 0.10.40
- **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 postinstall hook only changes permissions on node-pty helper files and contains no collection or network behavior. Reviewed runtime requests follow the user-invoked LinkShell login flow, and the host’s account-token provider is gated to the official gateway.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** No attack was identified in the inspected sources. The install hook adjusts permissions on node-pty helper files, while the reviewed network and process behavior supports login and local host features.

- **Trigger:** Installation runs the postinstall hook; login and host features run when invoked by the user.

- **Impact:** The inspected behavior did not establish an unconsented installation beacon, credential disclosure to an unrelated recipient, or other concrete attack.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-16T13:26:05.803Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The hook locates existing node-pty helpers and changes their permissions. Login uses a loopback callback and sends its token to the configured LinkShell Supabase endpoint; the host only supplies an account token to the official gateway.

- **Rationale:** The postinstall hook only changes permissions on node-pty helper files and contains no collection or network behavior. Reviewed runtime requests follow the user-invoked LinkShell login flow, and the host’s account-token provider is gated to the official gateway.

- **Files touched:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.mjs, dist/cli/src/commands/login.js, dist/cli/src/auth.js, dist/cli/src/commands/host.js, dist/host/src/ports.js

- **Network endpoints:** https://itool.tech/en/auth/linkshell, https://mkbeusztkzffnzjdwmqk.supabase.co

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 94.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json runs the postinstall script; that script locates node-pty helper files and changes their permissions., Port discovery runs local listener enumeration commands and parses their output., Login sends the received access token to the configured Supabase user endpoint., The host supplies an account token only when the selected gateway matches LinkShell’s official gateway., The login flow opens the LinkShell authentication page with a loopback callback., The Supabase endpoint is defined in the CLI authentication module.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to linkshell-cli@0.10.40.

- Review the evidence and your use of linkshell-cli@0.10.40 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.
