## 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:** 0.2.80
- **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 present, but its source exits for installations under node\_modules and limits its installs to checkout subpackages. The inspected runtime indicators serve notebook functionality or check the package’s registry version; none establishes concrete attack behavior.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 96.0%
- **Started:** 2026-10-17T12:23:27.562Z
- **Finished:** 2026-10-17T12:24:52.776Z

- **Total time:** 85214 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 in the inspected source. The flagged execution and network behavior is tied to checkout setup, GPU metrics, Jupyter configuration, or an update-version check.

- **Trigger:** Package installation, launching the notebook server, or using the server’s resource features.

- **Impact:** No malicious effect was established from these behaviors.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-17T12:24:52.776Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The published-install postinstall exits inside node\_modules; the launcher starts the package’s server, and the resource service invokes fixed GPU probes.

- **Rationale:** The lifecycle hook is present, but its source exits for installations under node\_modules and limits its installs to checkout subpackages. The inspected runtime indicators serve notebook functionality or check the package’s registry version; none establishes concrete attack behavior.

- **Files touched:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.cjs, bin/nebula-notebook.js, node-server/dist/resources/resource-service.js, node-server/dist/update-check.js, dist/assets/index-pBlQK-xI.js, dist/assets/index-BdZ\_Kjti.js, dist/assets/services-shim-zXtxqviK.js

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

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 96.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest runs a postinstall script; that script exits in node\_modules and otherwise installs dependencies only for checkout subpackages., The launcher starts the package’s own node-server entrypoint and passes through the supplied arguments., The resource service runs fixed GPU-information commands with a timeout; it does not build commands from user input., The frontend health check requests the same-origin health API., The Jupyter bundle’s dynamic require loads a path selected through Jupyter configuration., The services shim imports the frontend bundle, and the update checker requests the package’s registry version.

- **Evidence against:** The flagged shell, dynamic-code, and network patterns have source-supported product contexts; no concrete attack behavior was identified.
