Treat them as untrusted evidence. 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:** 0.2.55 - **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 lifecycle hook is explicitly inactive when installed as a dependency, and the inspected runtime behavior is consistent with a local notebook service. No concrete attack behavior was found. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 93.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-28T06:02:23.706Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-28T06:05:22.006Z - **Download time:** 502 ms - **Static scan time:** 2956 ms - **AI review time:** 174841 ms - **Total time:** 178300 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 malicious attack surface was identified in the inspected entry points. The package launches a local notebook server and optionally collects local hardware information. - **Trigger:** The user runs the package command or requests resource information from the running server. - **Impact:** No confirmed credential theft, data exfiltration, persistence, destructive behavior, or unconsented agent-control mutation was found. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-28T06:05:22.006Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The launcher starts the bundled server; resource collection runs fixed GPU utility commands with a timeout. The install hook is inactive for node\_modules installs. - **Rationale:** The lifecycle hook is explicitly inactive when installed as a dependency, and the inspected runtime behavior is consistent with a local notebook service. No concrete attack behavior was found. - **Files touched:** package.json, bin/nebula-notebook.js, scripts/postinstall.cjs, node-server/dist/resources/resource-service.js, dist/assets/index-BYLhtrxB.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** Package metadata defines the published command and its postinstall hook; it has no runtime dependency on its own package name., The command starts the packaged local server with the caller's arguments and environment., The postinstall script exits when running under node\_modules, so registry installation does not run its nested npm installs., Resource collection only invokes fixed GPU-information commands with a timeout., The bundled client uses Jupyter-style request authentication handling; no package-controlled exfiltration endpoint was found in the inspected paths. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to nebula-notebook@0.2.55. - Review the evidence and your use of nebula-notebook@0.2.55 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.
