## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 24 low-signal pattern(s) reviewed.

- **Verdict:** Manual Review
- **Product-default install policy:** Allow
- **Firewall policy:** No policy match
- **Public report status:** Under Review
- **Threat category:** Unknown
- **Selected version:** 0.91.1
- **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: manual review; recommendation: manual review. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

Inspected source did not establish a concrete malicious attack. The required clean citation coverage exceeds the permitted citation count.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Inspected source did not establish a concrete malicious attack. The required clean citation coverage exceeds the permitted citation count.

- **Trigger:** CLI invocation activates the inspected runtime functionality; no npm install lifecycle trigger is declared.

- **Impact:** No confirmed malicious impact was identified; final clean classification requires citation coverage unavailable under this report's limits.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-01T17:09:41.792Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Inspected behavior includes reading project guidance, launching CLI processes, and checking package release metadata.

- **Rationale:** Source inspection did not independently justify warning or blocking. The report requires citations for 11 distinct paths but permits only 8, so the explicit citation-capacity rule requires manual review.

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Manual Review

- **Confidence:** 99.0%

- **Recommended action:** manual\_review

- **Intent class:** Unknown

- **False-positive risk:** High

- **AI review observations:** package.json declares the CLI entrypoint, with no lifecycle hooks or runtime self-dependency., The indicated agent integration reads AGENTS.md for context estimation rather than modifying agent configuration., The process helper launches caller-specified commands with caller-specified working directory and environment., The update check requests this package's release metadata from the npm registry.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to nolo-cli@0.91.1.

- Review the evidence and your use of nolo-cli@0.91.1 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.
