## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 18 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:** 0.9.175
- **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 high-risk primitives are reachable through the user-invoked assistant rather than an install hook, and the inspected OpenAI call sends speech input rather than harvested environment data or command output. No automatic lifecycle chain, remote payload execution, or concrete exfiltration behavior was found.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0%
- **Started:** 2026-09-05T01:46:27.545Z
- **Finished:** 2026-09-05T01:48:27.124Z
- **Download time:** 1011 ms
- **Static scan time:** 1025 ms
- **AI review time:** 117542 ms
- **Total time:** 119579 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 confirmed malicious attack surface was established. The package performs its assistant functions after explicit CLI invocation and has no registry install-time execution.

- **Trigger:** The user runs the osborn CLI.

- **Impact:** The invoked application can access configured assistant session data and use configured service credentials for its stated functions.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-05T01:48:27.124Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** User-invoked voice assistant, local session access, and text-to-speech API calls.

- **Rationale:** The high-risk primitives are reachable through the user-invoked assistant rather than an install hook, and the inspected OpenAI call sends speech input rather than harvested environment data or command output. No automatic lifecycle chain, remote payload execution, or concrete exfiltration behavior was found.

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 91.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest exposes a CLI and has only a prepublish build hook, not an install lifecycle hook., The CLI starts the packaged application only after the user invokes the osborn command., The runtime sends supplied speech text to OpenAI's speech endpoint using the configured API key., The session helper reads Claude session data from the configured or default Claude directory., The Claude integration changes two compaction settings when the user-run application starts.

- **Evidence against:** No preinstall, install, or postinstall script is present., No self-dependency or download-and-execute path was found., The network use inspected is a direct, package-aligned text-to-speech request rather than credential or command-output exfiltration., The shell approval shown is restricted to localhost canvas and TTS routes without shell chaining.
