## 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:** 0.26.0
- **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.

Source inspection found that installation only prints global setup guidance and does not perform agent setup. The agent configuration path is separate from installation, and the inspected telemetry path is opt-in and sends error details rather than credentials.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0%
- **Started:** 2026-10-10T16:17:30.813Z

- **Static scan time:** 2616 ms
- **AI review time:** 79116 ms
- **Total time:** 82485 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 in the inspected install and agent setup paths.

- **Trigger:** Installation runs the postinstall hook; agent configuration setup requires a separate CLI command.

- **Impact:** The inspected source does not establish unconsented agent configuration changes or credential exfiltration.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-10T16:18:53.298Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The install hook prints guidance for global installs. The CLI setup path handles agent configuration, while error telemetry requires its saved setting to be on.

- **Rationale:** Source inspection found that installation only prints global setup guidance and does not perform agent setup. The agent configuration path is separate from installation, and the inspected telemetry path is opt-in and sends error details rather than credentials.

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 91.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest runs scripts/postinstall.mjs after installation., The postinstall script prints setup guidance only for global installs; setup is a separate command., The required Claude guidance location describes generated agent instructions, not executable code., Setup obtains its configuration through the CLI action, and an interactive run asks how to proceed., Error telemetry is gated on the saved errorTelemetry setting being on., Registry client construction uses the configured registry API URL or the Kordis default.

- **Evidence against:** The inspected install hook does not itself run agent setup or write agent configuration., The inspected telemetry payload contains error and runtime details, not credentials.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to memgineering@0.26.0.

- Review the evidence and your use of memgineering@0.26.0 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report.
