Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 15 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:** 0.69.0 - **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. Source inspection resolved the credential-transfer hint as Turnstile verification to Cloudflare and the agent-configuration hint as CLI setup behavior. The prepare hook only runs Svelte synchronization, so the inspected evidence supports a clean verdict. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-16T01:27:26.858Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-16T01:32:12.656Z - **Download time:** 520 ms - **Static scan time:** 3213 ms - **AI review time:** 282064 ms - **Total time:** 285798 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 attack was identified in the inspected install hook, CLI agent setup, or captcha verification flow. - **Trigger:** The install hook runs package synchronization; agent skill setup is reached through the CLI init command, and captcha verification runs during form submission. - **Impact:** The inspected behavior supports package setup and intended captcha verification; it does not establish credential theft or an attack on agent configuration. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-16T01:32:12.656Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The CLI installs or refreshes package-provided skill files during setup, prompting when the target is missing. Captcha verification sends its token and secret to Cloudflare’s fixed verification endpoint. - **Rationale:** Source inspection resolved the credential-transfer hint as Turnstile verification to Cloudflare and the agent-configuration hint as CLI setup behavior. The prepare hook only runs Svelte synchronization, so the inspected evidence supports a clean verdict. - **Files touched:** package.json, dist/cli.js, dist/captcha.js, dist/index.js - **Network endpoints:** challenges.cloudflare.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The prepare hook runs Svelte synchronization, and the manifest exposes the CLI as a command., Agent skill setup runs through the explicit init command; a missing skill prompts for installation, and an existing skill is refreshed during that setup., Captcha verification sends the configured Turnstile secret and response token to Cloudflare’s fixed site verification endpoint., The form API invokes captcha verification as part of form submission. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to postboi@0.69.0. - Review the evidence and your use of postboi@0.69.0 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
