Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## 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:** 0.72.0 - **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 source does not support the scanner's malicious verdict: the install hook is ordinary Svelte setup, and inspected credential syncing and agent skill setup are CLI behaviors requiring user action or confirmation. The other flagged network behavior inspected is normal Turnstile captcha verification. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 95.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-16T11:56:18.389Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-16T11:57:12.261Z - **Download time:** 2787 ms - **Static scan time:** 3291 ms - **AI review time:** 47793 ms - **Total time:** 53872 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 package source. The install hook runs Svelte sync, while CLI credential sync and agent skill setup are user-invoked features. - **Trigger:** Package installation runs the prepare script; CLI setup or sync requires a user to invoke the command. - **Impact:** No confirmed attack surface or harmful effect was established. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-16T11:57:12.261Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The prepare script runs Svelte sync. The inspected CLI skill flow asks for confirmation, and the credential sync path requires a Postboi token. - **Rationale:** The source does not support the scanner's malicious verdict: the install hook is ordinary Svelte setup, and inspected credential syncing and agent skill setup are CLI behaviors requiring user action or confirmation. The other flagged network behavior inspected is normal Turnstile captcha verification. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 95.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The package's prepare hook runs Svelte sync; it does not invoke the CLI., Agent skill installation from init requires confirmation, and targets Postboi's own skill files., CLI credential sync requires a POSTBOI\_TOKEN and sends credentials through the Postboi account sync flow., Captcha verification sends the submitted token and configured secret to the Turnstile verification endpoint. - **Evidence against:** The inspected credential and agent-configuration behavior is tied to CLI setup or sync, not an automatic package-install action. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to postboi@0.72.0. - Review the evidence and your use of postboi@0.72.0 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.
