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:** 0.30.17 - **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 has no install-time lifecycle hook, and the reviewed agent and installation behaviors are user-invoked or limited to local provider detection. The scanner’s structural hints did not establish malicious behavior in the inspected source. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-14T03:13:35.410Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-14T03:14:37.579Z - **Download time:** 1550 ms - **Static scan time:** 1282 ms - **AI review time:** 59336 ms - **Total time:** 62169 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 surface was identified in the inspected lifecycle, agent integration, and installer code. - **Trigger:** The package has no npm install-time hook; its prepublishOnly script runs branding checks and a build. - **Impact:** No unauthorized credential transfer, automatic agent configuration change, or other concrete attack was established. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-14T03:14:37.579Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The inspected plugin setup follows an explicit manager selection, agent credentials are read for provider detection, and TUI installation requires confirmation. - **Rationale:** The manifest has no install-time lifecycle hook, and the reviewed agent and installation behaviors are user-invoked or limited to local provider detection. The scanner’s structural hints did not establish malicious behavior in the inspected source. ### 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 defines only a prepublishOnly lifecycle script, which runs branding checks and a build., Plugin installation checks that an item is installable and has a source, then proceeds only after the user selects an install action in the plugin manager., The panel reads local agent authentication files to identify configured providers; the inspected code uses provider keys for detection., User skill discovery includes explicit project and host-agent skill directories., The adapter fixture file defines test paths and timestamp-cleaning helpers., The TUI requires a user action to enter install or import confirmation, and the recommended-skill installer uses Git for its catalog source. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to psyclaw@0.30.17. - Review the evidence and your use of psyclaw@0.30.17 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.
