## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 14 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:** 0.1.61
- **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 package is a CLI/toolchain with no install lifecycle scripts. The inspected credential flow restricts npm credentials to matching registry hosts, and the trigger-token request is generated for a configured healthcheck operation.

## Latest scan

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 attack was identified; the inspected behaviors fit a coding CLI and toolchain.

- **Trigger:** The CLI runs when invoked; its registry healthcheck is part of generated user-configured CI code.

- **Impact:** No unauthorized collection or account action was identified.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-31T11:39:40.776Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The CLI resolves npm credentials for matching registry hosts and the generated healthcheck sends its configured trigger token to the configured GitLab API URL.

- **Rationale:** The package is a CLI/toolchain with no install lifecycle scripts. The inspected credential flow restricts npm credentials to matching registry hosts, and the trigger-token request is generated for a configured healthcheck operation.

- **Network endpoints:** registry.npmjs.org, CI\_API\_V4\_URL (configured GitLab API URL)

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 90.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest describes a CLI/toolchain and exposes a CLI binary that loads its bundled command implementation., npm credentials are selected only when the configured credential host matches the requested registry host., The generated registry healthcheck uses an explicitly configured API URL and sends only the trigger token and healthcheck operation.

- **Evidence against:** There are no install lifecycle scripts in the manifest., The CLI’s command runner is invoked through its command-line entry point., No source evidence showed credentials being sent to an unrelated host or an attack running automatically.

## Affected versions and remediation
