## 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.162
- **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.

Static inspection did not confirm malicious behavior. The required PGlite dependency and a bundled runtime executable used by local development remain unverified, so the package cannot be cleared as clean.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Manual Review
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 82.0%
- **Started:** 2026-10-22T16:57:59.946Z

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 JavaScript paths. Review remains unresolved because local development can load an unverified dependency or launch an uninspected bundled executable.

- **Trigger:** A user starts local development with the PGlite backend or a Feather runtime.

- **Impact:** The available source does not establish how these components handle data or secrets, so their behavior remains unverified.

- **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js, bin/linux-x64/runlot-dev-runtime, .lpm-inspection-Bzs58Y/0-98ed4633eb93.txt

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-22T16:59:20.327Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The CLI dynamically loads PGlite or starts the selected development runtime, passing project secrets in its environment; the runtime executable's behavior could not be inspected.

- **Rationale:** Static inspection did not confirm malicious behavior. The required PGlite dependency and a bundled runtime executable used by local development remain unverified, so the package cannot be cleared as clean.

- **Files touched:** package.json, dist/index.js, bin/linux-x64/runlot-dev-runtime, .lpm-inspection-Bzs58Y/0-98ed4633eb93.txt

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Manual Review

- **Confidence:** 82.0%

- **Recommended action:** manual\_review

- **Intent class:** Unknown

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **AI review observations:** The manifest publishes dist/index.js and declares @electric-sql/pglite 0.4.3 as a required dependency., The local database implementation dynamically imports PGlite when opening that database., The CLI can select a bundled development runtime and launches it with project secrets in its environment., The trusted offline analysis identifies the Linux runtime as an ELF executable but cannot inspect its behavior.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to runlot@0.1.0-rc.162.

- Review the evidence and your use of runlot@0.1.0-rc.162 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.
