## Verdict summary
**Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 14 finding(s) warrant review before installing.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Matched warn-list
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Install Hook Abuse
- **Selected version:** 0.23.0
- **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: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

The prepare-only Git hook mutation warrants a warning under the lifecycle policy. The hostname telemetry is package-aligned but opt-out, increasing risk without proving malicious intent.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 87.0%
- **Started:** 2026-08-25T20:58:07.448Z
- **Finished:** 2026-08-25T20:59:03.187Z
- **Download time:** 511 ms
- **Static scan time:** 301 ms
- **AI review time:** 54926 ms
- **Total time:** 55739 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:** Its prepare lifecycle command changes Git hook configuration outside the package directory. At application runtime it sends opt-out telemetry containing the local hostname to the configured Modelence service.

- **Trigger:** npm prepare lifecycle; starting a Modelence application runtime

- **Impact:** Can redirect repository hooks; exposes a host identifier to the package service.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/chunk-MWU6FXFQ.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-25T20:59:03.187Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Git hooks-path mutation and hostname telemetry POST

- **Rationale:** The prepare-only Git hook mutation warrants a warning under the lifecycle policy. The hostname telemetry is package-aligned but opt-out, increasing risk without proving malicious intent.

- **Files touched:** package.json, dist/chunk-MWU6FXFQ.js

- **Network endpoints:** https://cloud.modelence.com/api/track/app-start

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 87.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** \`prepare\` changes the enclosing repository's Git hooks path., Runtime tracking posts the local hostname to Modelence Cloud unless disabled.

- **Evidence against:** No \`preinstall\`, \`install\`, or \`postinstall\` script is declared., The hook mutation is a prepare-only VCS setup, not an AI-agent control-surface change., CLI shell execution is attached to explicit build/dev/start commands., No remote code loader or credential-harvesting chain was found.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to modelence@0.23.0.

- Review the evidence and your use of modelence@0.23.0 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.
