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:** 0.2.28 - **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 source inspection shows the flagged postinstall is a repository-checkout convenience hook that exits for node\_modules installs. The remaining process, filesystem, terminal, and agent features are explicit runtime notebook functionality without a concrete malicious chain. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-25T14:40:06.090Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-25T14:42:02.862Z - **Download time:** 503 ms - **Static scan time:** 3723 ms - **AI review time:** 112544 ms - **Total time:** 116772 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 postinstall hook exits for npm dependency installs, and runtime capabilities belong to the notebook server. - **Trigger:** User runs the nebula-notebook CLI. - **Impact:** No unconsented mutation, exfiltration, or remote payload execution established. - **Evidence paths:** scripts/postinstall.cjs, bin/nebula-notebook.js, node-server/dist/update-check.js, node-server/dist/terminal/remote-agent-config.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-25T14:42:02.862Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Launches the packaged notebook server. - **Rationale:** Static source inspection shows the flagged postinstall is a repository-checkout convenience hook that exits for node\_modules installs. The remaining process, filesystem, terminal, and agent features are explicit runtime notebook functionality without a concrete malicious chain. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** Published installs skip postinstall work in node\_modules., CLI launches only the bundled server entrypoint., The observed outbound check targets this package's npm registry record. - **Evidence against:** No install-time agent-control or broad config mutation found., No credential harvesting, payload download, or exfiltration path found., Runtime terminal, filesystem, and agent features are product-aligned and user-invoked. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to nebula-notebook@0.2.28. - Review the evidence and your use of nebula-notebook@0.2.28 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.
