## 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:** Unknown
- **Selected version:** 4.5.0
- **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.

Source inspection found no install-time attack, but the default-enabled dashboard exposes session viewing and prompt submission on a network-wide listener without authentication in the inspected WebSocket path. This is an unresolved capability risk, so warn rather than block.

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:** Pidash exposes session viewing and prompt submission through a daemon that listens on all network interfaces. Its browser WebSocket has no authentication in the inspected handlers, creating an unresolved exposure to other devices on the local network.

- **Trigger:** A TUI session starts while pidash is enabled, which is the default; the extension connects to or starts the daemon.

- **Impact:** A reachable local-network client could view session activity and send prompts into the agent session.

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

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-20T10:20:43.919Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The extension forwards session events to the daemon, which serves browser WebSocket clients. A browser client can watch buffered session events and submit prompts to a connected Pi session.

- **Rationale:** Source inspection found no install-time attack, but the default-enabled dashboard exposes session viewing and prompt submission on a network-wide listener without authentication in the inspected WebSocket path. This is an unresolved capability risk, so warn rather than block.

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

- **Network endpoints:** 0.0.0.0, /ws/browser, ws://127.0.0.1:${pidashPort}/ws/pi

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 83.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** Pidash is enabled by default and connects during a TUI session start., Pidash forwards Pi events to its daemon, including agent and message events., The daemon listens on all interfaces and permits WebSocket upgrades when the Origin header is absent; browser clients can watch sessions and receive buffered events., Browser messages can be forwarded as prompts to a connected Pi session.

- **Evidence against:** Pidash is a package feature intended to provide a browser dashboard; the source restricts supplied Origin headers to localhost or private-network addresses., The Pi extension connects to the daemon over loopback, and no credential theft or unrelated publisher-controlled recipient was found in the inspected path.
