## 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:** 0.2.53
- **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 found no concrete malicious execution path. The remaining network and dynamic-configuration behavior is package-aligned and not evidence of an attack.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0%
- **Started:** 2026-09-28T02:08:57.622Z

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 behavior was identified. The install hook exits for normal node\_modules installations, and inspected command execution is limited to fixed GPU queries.

- **Trigger:** The CLI is explicitly launched by the user; the version check runs when the server starts.

- **Impact:** No confirmed credential theft, data exfiltration, persistence, destructive action, or foreign agent-control mutation was found.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-28T02:10:06.713Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The launcher starts the package server. Resource collection invokes fixed local GPU utilities, while the update checker contacts the npm registry.

- **Rationale:** Static inspection found no concrete malicious execution path. The remaining network and dynamic-configuration behavior is package-aligned and not evidence of an attack.

- **Network endpoints:** https://registry.npmjs.org/nebula-notebook/latest

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 88.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest’s only install hook invokes the packaged postinstall script., The CLI starts the packaged server entry with caller-supplied arguments and inherited standard I/O., The postinstall script exits when running from node\_modules, preventing its checkout dependency-install actions during normal package installation., The resource service runs fixed GPU-query commands rather than caller-provided shell input., The bundled dynamic require is conditional on an explicit Jupyter configuration flag or environment setting.

- **Evidence against:** The server performs an opt-out, daily version check against the npm registry., The browser bundle retains a dynamic local configuration require.

## Affected versions and remediation
