## Verdict summary
**Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 14 finding(s) warrant review before installing.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Matched warn-list
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Remote Code Execution
- **Selected version:** 4.11.0
- **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: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

Static inspection confirms a pathspec-to-shell command injection path, a serious vulnerability warranting a warning. Default-enabled pidash also exposes session data and agent input to reachable network clients; the inspected package has no install lifecycle hook, so these runtime risks do not establish an install-time attack.

## Latest scan

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:** A path supplied to the Orchestrator’s Git staging guard reaches a shell command without escaping, creating a command injection risk. Separately, default-enabled pidash exposes session viewing and prompt forwarding on a listener bound to all interfaces.

- **Trigger:** The Git risk is triggered when enforcement checks a git add pathspec. The pidash exposure starts with a TUI session while pidash is enabled, which is the default.

- **Impact:** A crafted pathspec may execute shell commands as the Pi user. A network client able to reach pidash may view session data and submit prompts to the agent.

- **Evidence paths:** extensions/orchestrator/git-helpers.ts, extensions/orchestrator/enforcement.ts, extensions/orchestrator/enforcement-helpers.ts, extensions/pidash/pidash.ts, scripts/pidash-server.ts, scripts/daemon-shared.ts, settings-keys.json

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-20T10:25:26.776Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The Git helper joins arguments into an execSync shell command, including parsed pathspecs. Pidash binds to 0.0.0.0, accepts WebSocket requests with no Origin header, replays session events, and forwards browser prompts to Pi.

- **Rationale:** Static inspection confirms a pathspec-to-shell command injection path, a serious vulnerability warranting a warning. Default-enabled pidash also exposes session data and agent input to reachable network clients; the inspected package has no install lifecycle hook, so these runtime risks do not establish an install-time attack.

- **Files touched:** extensions/orchestrator/git-helpers.ts, extensions/orchestrator/enforcement.ts, extensions/orchestrator/enforcement-helpers.ts, extensions/pidash/pidash.ts, scripts/pidash-server.ts, scripts/daemon-shared.ts, settings-keys.json

- **Network endpoints:** 0.0.0.0

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 92.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** The package registers its Pi extensions through package metadata; its npm scripts are for building and prepacking., The Git helper interpolates supplied arguments into a shell command., The Orchestrator passes parsed git add paths directly to that helper; its parser retains path tokens after \`--\`., Pidash is enabled by default and connects when a TUI session starts., The pidash daemon binds to all interfaces, and its WebSocket gate accepts requests without an Origin header., Pidash replays buffered session events to browser clients and forwards browser prompts into Pi.
