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:** 0.30.15 - **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. Inspected source supports a clean verdict: the package has no npm install hook, and the relevant installation behavior is activated through user-facing actions. The scanner flags map to benign test setup or package functionality; no concrete attack surface was established. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-08T17:51:10.998Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-08T17:51:39.595Z - **Download time:** 1759 ms - **Static scan time:** 1547 ms - **AI review time:** 25290 ms - **Total time:** 28597 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 source. Plugin and skill installation paths are user-invoked, and the flagged fixture file contains test setup. - **Trigger:** A user selects an install action in the plugin manager or approves an installation in the TUI. - **Impact:** No confirmed unauthorized mutation, credential exfiltration, or other attack impact was established. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-08T17:51:39.595Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The package stages a recommended skill locally; the inspected panel code reads authentication files only to determine configured providers. - **Rationale:** Inspected source supports a clean verdict: the package has no npm install hook, and the relevant installation behavior is activated through user-facing actions. The scanner flags map to benign test setup or package functionality; no concrete attack surface was established. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest identifies PsyClaw as a research agent and has no npm install lifecycle hook; its only publish hook is prepublishOnly., The plugin installation function checks that a user-selected item is installable before installing it., The panel reads agent authentication files to identify configured providers; this code does not send their contents., User skill discovery includes project and host-agent skill directories., The flagged Python file is test fixture configuration that defines repository paths and shared fixtures., The TUI invokes installation through an explicit runInstall call with approval recorded., Recommended skill installation stages and copies a selected skill into its destination. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to psyclaw@0.30.15. - Review the evidence and your use of psyclaw@0.30.15 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.
