## Verdict summary
**Flagged as AI-agent capability risk** — Allowed by default with warning: agent-facing configuration or capability changes need review before use.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Warn-only AI-agent capability risk
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** AI-agent capability abuse
- **Selected version:** 4.22.1
- **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: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

The dashboard is an intended package feature, but it starts by default and exposes session viewing and prompt submission over an unauthenticated LAN-accessible WebSocket. This creates a real access-control risk, though the reviewed source does not show publisher-directed data theft or another clear attack.

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:** The default-on pidash dashboard exposes Pi session data and prompt control to unauthenticated clients on the local network.

- **Trigger:** Loading the extension and starting a Pi TUI session with pidash enabled, which is the default.

- **Impact:** Other clients on the local network may be able to read session history and submit prompts to active Pi sessions.

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

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-30T21:57:59.980Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The extension starts and connects to a daemon listening on 0.0.0.0; browser WebSocket access is gated by Origin matching but not authentication. The extension forwards session history, and browser prompts are relayed to Pi.

- **Rationale:** The dashboard is an intended package feature, but it starts by default and exposes session viewing and prompt submission over an unauthenticated LAN-accessible WebSocket. This creates a real access-control risk, though the reviewed source does not show publisher-directed data theft or another clear attack.

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

- **Network endpoints:** 0.0.0.0:19190 HTTP / and WebSocket /ws/browser, 127.0.0.1:19190 WebSocket /ws/pi

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 88.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Unknown

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** Pidash is enabled by default in the package settings., On a Pi session start, the extension connects to pidash automatically when a live TUI context is available., The pidash server listens on 0.0.0.0 and accepts browser connections from localhost and private LAN origins., The browser WebSocket upgrade checks Origin but has no authentication check before accepting the connection., The extension loads session history and forwards it to the daemon; the browser can also send prompts that the daemon forwards into a Pi session.

- **Evidence against:** The manifest has no install, preinstall, or postinstall hook; its scripts are build and typecheck tasks., The dashboard and session forwarding are documented features of the package, and the server is intended for local and LAN access., Image generation sends the user-requested prompt and Gemini API key to Google's Gemini API, its stated service.
