## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 19 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:** 0.1.0-rc.177
- **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 CLI’s credential flow is scoped to the selected API origin, and its error reporting is disclosed with an opt-out and scrubbing of arguments and secrets. The flagged dynamic code construction is part of AJV’s schema validator, and I found no malicious credential or command-output exfiltration chain.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0%
- **Started:** 2026-10-31T02:26:38.820Z

- **Total time:** 41374 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 identified; the reviewed network and credential behavior supports the CLI’s deployment purpose and disclosed crash reporting.

- **Trigger:** CLI invocation; crash reporting occurs after a non-API error.

- **Impact:** No malicious impact identified in the reviewed source.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-31T02:27:20.194Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The CLI uses credentials scoped to the configured API origin and sends scrubbed error reports to Sentry. No credential redirect, command-output exfiltration, or remote-response execution chain was established.

- **Rationale:** The CLI’s credential flow is scoped to the selected API origin, and its error reporting is disclosed with an opt-out and scrubbing of arguments and secrets. The flagged dynamic code construction is part of AJV’s schema validator, and I found no malicious credential or command-output exfiltration chain.

- **Files touched:** ~/.runlot/credentials.json, ~/.runlot/telemetry-notice

- **Network endpoints:** https://dash.runlot.io, https://o4512108816105473.ingest.us.sentry.io

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 91.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The package exposes a CLI entry point and declares no install lifecycle scripts., Runlot credentials are selected by API origin, preventing credentials for one origin from being used for another., Crash reports are disclosed to users, can be disabled, and strip command arguments and secrets before sending., Crash reporting runs on CLI errors; the bundle’s dynamic function construction is AJV schema-validator code generation.

- **Evidence against:** The CLI reads its own RUNLOT\_TOKEN or credentials file to authenticate with its configured Runlot API., The CLI sends scrubbed crash reports to a Sentry endpoint.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to runlot@0.1.0-rc.177.

- Review the evidence and your use of runlot@0.1.0-rc.177 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.
