## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 14 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:** 0.43.0
- **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: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

The scanner findings arise from a mail-provider CLI that intentionally manages credentials and provider APIs. Source inspection found no install-time CLI execution, hidden collection, or unconsented outbound credential transfer.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 93.0%
- **Started:** 2026-09-01T19:11:58.232Z
- **Finished:** 2026-09-01T19:12:45.118Z

- **Static scan time:** 3934 ms
- **AI review time:** 42449 ms
- **Total time:** 46886 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. Credential synchronization and project mutation are reachable only through explicit CLI commands, not the install lifecycle.

- **Trigger:** A user explicitly runs postboi env push, postboi init, or another named CLI command.

- **Impact:** The user may intentionally upload configured provider credentials to their Postboi account.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-01T19:12:45.118Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** User-invoked credential synchronization and project setup.

- **Rationale:** The scanner findings arise from a mail-provider CLI that intentionally manages credentials and provider APIs. Source inspection found no install-time CLI execution, hidden collection, or unconsented outbound credential transfer.

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 93.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The package has a prepare lifecycle hook., The explicitly invoked env push command can read provider credential variables and send them to the configured Postboi API.

- **Evidence against:** The prepare hook only runs SvelteKit synchronization and falls back to an empty echo; it does not invoke the bundled CLI., The credential upload path requires the postboi env push command and a POSTBOI\_TOKEN., CLI dispatch runs credential and project-write operations only for named user commands; there is no import-time or install-time exfiltration path.

## Affected versions and remediation
