Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 13 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:** 1.4.1 - **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: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The source inspection found no install-time attack or unrelated credential forwarding. Flagged process execution is tied to browser authorization or the explicit update command, and the OAuth endpoint configuration separates the intended services. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 86.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-08T17:16:22.045Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-08T17:17:02.616Z - **Download time:** 1285 ms - **Static scan time:** 2758 ms - **AI review time:** 36527 ms - **Total time:** 40571 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 was identified in the inspected source. The package implements provider authentication and a local gateway, with package installation limited to an explicit update command. - **Trigger:** Running the CLI; the package update install path activates only through the update command when a newer version is available. - **Impact:** No confirmed attack surface was established from the inspected behavior. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-08T17:17:02.616Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** OAuth configuration distinguishes the OpenAI API endpoint from the ChatGPT OAuth endpoint. The shared chunk's child process opens the authorization URL in the browser. - **Rationale:** The source inspection found no install-time attack or unrelated credential forwarding. Flagged process execution is tied to browser authorization or the explicit update command, and the OAuth endpoint configuration separates the intended services. - **Files touched:** package.json, dist/cli.js, dist/cli.mjs, dist/chunk-E4BTPYUD.mjs, dist/chunk-3B7ATHGI.mjs - **Network endpoints:** registry.npmjs.org, api.openai.com, chatgpt.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json defines no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook; its prepublishOnly command is for publishing., The shared chunk uses child\_process only to open a browser for an authorization URL., The CLI installs the latest package only when the user runs the update command and an update is available., The CLI config separates the OpenAI platform API endpoint from the ChatGPT OAuth endpoint., The flagged files inspected showed no credential redirect to an unrelated fixed gateway. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to open-auther@1.4.1. - Review the evidence and your use of open-auther@1.4.1 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. ## Public findings ### 1.
