## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 21 low-signal pattern(s) reviewed.

- **Verdict:** Manual Review
- **Product-default install policy:** Allow
- **Firewall policy:** No policy match
- **Public report status:** Under Review
- **Threat category:** Unknown
- **Selected version:** 0.1.0-rc.161
- **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: manual review; recommendation: manual review. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

The package declares and reaches a required registry dependency whose source could not be inspected. This leaves its behavior unresolved, so manual review is appropriate; the unresolved source alone is not evidence of an attack.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Manual Review
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 76.0%
- **Started:** 2026-10-21T15:47:49.818Z

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 confirmed in the inspected package source, but the behavior of a required runtime dependency could not be resolved.

- **Trigger:** A CLI operation opens the PGlite database.

- **Impact:** The dependency's behavior remains unresolved, so the package cannot be cleared as benign from this review.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/index.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-21T15:52:41.980Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The bundle dynamically imports @electric-sql/pglite; its dependency source was unavailable for inspection.

- **Rationale:** The package declares and reaches a required registry dependency whose source could not be inspected. This leaves its behavior unresolved, so manual review is appropriate; the unresolved source alone is not evidence of an attack.

- **Files touched:** package.json, dist/index.js

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Manual Review

- **Confidence:** 76.0%

- **Recommended action:** manual\_review

- **Intent class:** Unknown

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **AI review observations:** The manifest lists @electric-sql/pglite@0.4.3 as a dependency, and the CLI bundle imports it when opening its PGlite database., The manifest lists build, test, and typecheck scripts; it shows no install lifecycle script.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to runlot@0.1.0-rc.161.

- Review the evidence and your use of runlot@0.1.0-rc.161 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.
