## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 12 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.79
- **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.

Inspection of package.json and the bundled CLI shows ordinary user-invoked deploy, auth, and database behavior with no install hook. Tokens are selected by API origin, and crash reporting is gated and not an install-time exfiltration path.

## Latest scan

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. The package is a user-invoked deploy and PostgreSQL CLI with no install-time execution.

- **Trigger:** A user runs the runlot bin after install.

- **Impact:** No unconsented credential theft, remote payload execution, or agent control-surface mutation was found.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-28T00:35:06.238Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Commands talk to the configured Runlot API, local git or psql, and optional opt-out crash reporting. Tokens stay bound to the saved API origin.

- **Rationale:** Inspection of package.json and the bundled CLI shows ordinary user-invoked deploy, auth, and database behavior with no install hook. Tokens are selected by API origin, and crash reporting is gated and not an install-time exfiltration path.

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 84.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json publishes a CLI bin at dist/index.js and only build, test, and typecheck scripts, with no install lifecycle hooks., The CLI loads a saved token only for the matching API origin and sends it as Authorization to that base URL., Crash telemetry is off when RUNLOT\_TELEMETRY is 0, false, or off, or when DO\_NOT\_TRACK is 1, and runs only after a CLI crash.

- **Evidence against:** esbuild, git, and psql are invoked only for user deploy, remote, and database commands., A public SSH key is read only when the user runs a repo key command.
