## Verdict summary
**Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 12 finding(s) warrant review before installing.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Telemetry warning (can be blocked)
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Telemetry
- **Selected version:** 3.7.0
- **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: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

The package automatically initializes Firebase Analytics after Firebase setup, without a documented package-level opt-out. This is a runtime telemetry concern; the account-count events themselves are tied to explicit account actions.

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:** Firebase Analytics is initialized automatically and may transmit runtime analytics without a documented package-level opt-out.

- **Trigger:** The consumer initializes the Firebase app; on supported browser environments the interface initializes Firebase Analytics.

- **Impact:** Undisclosed or unexpected runtime analytics collection is a privacy risk; the inspected package code shows no collection-disable control.

- **Evidence paths:** base/firebase/interface.js, source/pwa-auth.js, README.md

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-11-01T21:56:26.938Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** getAnalytics(application) initializes the Firebase Analytics SDK, which loads Google’s gtag script. The package also logs account creation and deletion events during those user actions.

- **Rationale:** The package automatically initializes Firebase Analytics after Firebase setup, without a documented package-level opt-out. This is a runtime telemetry concern; the account-count events themselves are tied to explicit account actions.

- **Network endpoints:** www.googletagmanager.com

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 84.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** After Firebase initialization, the interface automatically checks analytics support and calls getAnalytics(application); no collection opt-out is exposed in that path., The bundled Firebase Analytics SDK references https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js., The README describes account-count events as occurring “if Analytics is on” but does not document that the package initializes Analytics automatically or provide a disable control., Analytics also records account creation and deletion counts; signup calls the creation event after account creation, and deletion requires confirmation and reauthentication.

- **Evidence against:** The package has no install-time hook; prepublishOnly runs build steps., The account events concern the package’s stated authentication purpose and are triggered by account actions.

## Affected versions and remediation
