Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 16 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:** 0.2.51 - **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 postinstall script does not perform its nested installation behavior when installed as a dependency. Inspected runtime behavior is consistent with a local notebook application, with no concrete malicious chain identified. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-28T06:01:36.006Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-28T06:02:58.864Z - **Download time:** 515 ms - **Static scan time:** 2985 ms - **AI review time:** 79357 ms - **Total time:** 82858 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 attack surface was identified from the inspected package behavior. The package provides a user-invoked local notebook server and a bounded registry update check. - **Trigger:** The server starts when the user runs the command-line launcher; the update check runs after server startup unless disabled. - **Impact:** No confirmed credential harvesting, secret transmission, persistence, destructive action, or unconsented install-time mutation was found. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-28T06:02:58.864Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The launcher passes user arguments to the bundled server. Resource code invokes fixed GPU utilities, and the update checker requests the package's npm registry record. - **Rationale:** The postinstall script does not perform its nested installation behavior when installed as a dependency. Inspected runtime behavior is consistent with a local notebook application, with no concrete malicious chain identified. - **Files touched:** package.json, bin/nebula-notebook.js, scripts/postinstall.cjs, node-server/dist/resources/resource-service.js, node-server/dist/update-check.js, dist/assets/index-BYLhtrxB.js - **Network endpoints:** https://registry.npmjs.org/nebula-notebook/latest ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The package defines a postinstall hook, but its installer exits when running from node\_modules., The command-line launcher starts the bundled server only when the user invokes the package command., Resource collection runs fixed GPU diagnostic commands rather than constructed shell input., The only identified outbound request is a version check to the npm registry, with an environment-variable opt-out., The bundled frontend requires a user click before executing inline notebook-output scripts. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to nebula-notebook@0.2.51. - Review the evidence and your use of nebula-notebook@0.2.51 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.
