## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 18 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:** 0.76.1
- **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: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

The manifest’s prepare hook only runs Svelte synchronization. Inspected credential flows use service-specific credentials with their corresponding service APIs, and the CLI password match is a disabled demo field; the scanner hints do not establish malicious behavior.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0%
- **Started:** 2026-10-26T07:41:17.609Z

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 source. The flagged credential transfers support the package’s inbox screenshot and Microsoft 365 polling features.

- **Trigger:** A user invokes the inbox screenshot feature or Microsoft 365 polling.

- **Impact:** No unrelated credential export or other concrete attack impact was established.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-26T07:45:30.688Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The inbox sends its Postboi token to the configured Postboi API for a recorded screenshot run. The poller uses configured Microsoft credentials to request a Microsoft Graph token and query message traces.

- **Rationale:** The manifest’s prepare hook only runs Svelte synchronization. Inspected credential flows use service-specific credentials with their corresponding service APIs, and the CLI password match is a disabled demo field; the scanner hints do not establish malicious behavior.

- **Files touched:** package.json, dist/inbox\_server.js, dist/webhooks/poll\_microsoft365.js, dist/cli.js, dist/inbox\_art.js, dist/webhooks/poll\_cloudflare.js, dist/webhooks/poll\_twilio.js, dist/views.js, dist/webhooks/vonage.js

- **Network endpoints:** https://postboi.app, https://login.microsoftonline.com, https://graph.microsoft.com, https://api.cloudflare.com

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 94.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json’s prepare script runs Svelte synchronization, and the CLI is distributed as an explicit command-line entry point., The inbox screenshot route requires a locally recorded run and a Postboi token, then sends that token to the configured Postboi API; the default host is postboi.app., Microsoft 365 polling obtains a token using configured tenant credentials and sends it to Microsoft Graph to retrieve message traces., The CLI password field is disabled and contains a fixed demo value; it is not an active credential collection form., The other inspected files implement provider polling or webhook normalization, local view-key handling, and embedded artwork.
