## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 15 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:** 0.1.38
- **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 high-risk evaluation signal is bundled schema-validator code generation, not remote-response execution. The package has no registry install lifecycle hook and inspection found no concrete malicious behavior.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0%

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 was established. Network and update behavior occurs only after the user runs the CLI, and there is no install-time hook.

- **Trigger:** A user runs the mano-coding CLI.

- **Impact:** The CLI may perform its documented package-management operations; no secret theft or remote code execution path was confirmed.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-05T07:45:42.716Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** User-invoked CLI update and package-management features.

- **Rationale:** The high-risk evaluation signal is bundled schema-validator code generation, not remote-response execution. The package has no registry install lifecycle hook and inspection found no concrete malicious behavior.

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 90.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The CLI starts a background automatic-update worker after a user runs the command., The bundle uses Function for generated schema validation code., The manifest has no preinstall, install, or postinstall lifecycle hook.

- **Evidence against:** The Function call compiles locally generated validator code rather than a network response., Downloaded npm release data requires a declared integrity value before use., No credential harvesting, exfiltration, destructive behavior, or install-time execution was found.

## Affected versions and remediation
