Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 17 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:** 0.2.27 - **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. Static inspection shows the suspicious postinstall path is explicitly disabled when installed from npm. Remaining execution and package-install primitives are runtime notebook/kernel functionality and no concrete malicious chain was found. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 93.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-24T09:18:09.789Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-24T09:18:50.986Z - **Download time:** 511 ms - **Static scan time:** 3485 ms - **AI review time:** 37199 ms - **Total time:** 41197 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 malicious attack surface. The install hook exits for published npm installs; runtime process and package-install capabilities support the notebook’s explicitly invoked kernel workflow. - **Trigger:** User runs the CLI or requests kernel registration through the running notebook service. - **Impact:** User-invoked code execution and package installation within the notebook workflow; no unconsented install-time or AI-agent-control mutation established. - **Evidence paths:** scripts/postinstall.cjs, bin/nebula-notebook.js, node-server/dist/discovery/discovery-service.js, node-server/dist/update-check.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-24T09:18:50.986Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Local notebook server launches kernels and can provision ipykernel in a writable selected environment. - **Rationale:** Static inspection shows the suspicious postinstall path is explicitly disabled when installed from npm. Remaining execution and package-install primitives are runtime notebook/kernel functionality and no concrete malicious chain was found. - **Files touched:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.cjs, bin/nebula-notebook.js, node-server/dist/discovery/discovery-service.js, node-server/dist/update-check.js, node-server/dist/kernel/kernel-service.js, node-server/dist/terminal/remote-agent-config.js - **Network endpoints:** https://registry.npmjs.org/nebula-notebook/latest ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** postinstall invokes npm only for repo-checkout subpackages., Runtime can install ipykernel for a user-selected writable Python environment. - **Evidence against:** Published npm installs exit from postinstall before any command runs., CLI only launches the packaged local server with user-supplied flags., No credential harvesting, covert exfiltration, remote payload loading, or foreign AI-agent config mutation found., The sole fixed network endpoint is an npm registry version check. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to nebula-notebook@0.2.27. - Review the evidence and your use of nebula-notebook@0.2.27 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. ## Public findings ### 1.
