- **Verdict:** Clean
- **Product-default install policy:** Allow
- **Firewall policy:** No policy match
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** None published
- **Selected version:** 1.4.0
- **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.

Source inspection found provider-directed credential requests and caller-configured custom-provider endpoints, with no evidence of an unrelated package-selected recipient. The shell-enabled process helper is CLI functionality and the manifest shows no install-time trigger.

## Latest scan

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** No attack was identified in the inspected source. The package sends credentials along its provider-specific authentication and request paths.

- **Trigger:** A caller uses the library or starts the CLI and configures a provider.

- **Impact:** No unauthorized credential disclosure or other attack effect was established.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-22T05:06:47.471Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Provider requests use provider endpoints or a caller-configured base URL; refresh requests use the configured token endpoint. No install lifecycle hook is declared.

- **Rationale:** Source inspection found provider-directed credential requests and caller-configured custom-provider endpoints, with no evidence of an unrelated package-selected recipient. The shell-enabled process helper is CLI functionality and the manifest shows no install-time trigger.

- **Network endpoints:** https://www.kimi.com, https://api.openai.com/v1, https://oauth2.googleapis.com

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 86.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest exposes library and CLI entrypoints and shows only a prepublishOnly build and verification script; no install hook is declared., The inspected credential transports and callers route requests through provider-specific or configured endpoints. The custom provider flow takes its base URL and API key from the caller., The CLI’s credential checks, refresh routes, and model discovery are reachable product operations; the inspected excerpts show no package-selected unrelated credential recipient., The reviewed dependency entry files identify ordinary Hono server and web framework exports.

- **Evidence against:** The CLI contains shell-enabled child-process support, but the reviewed source does not show it running automatically during installation.
