Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 18 finding(s) warrant review before installing. - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Product-default install policy:** Warn - **Firewall policy:** Matched warn-list - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Unknown - **Selected version:** 0.26.0 - **Selected version is latest:** Yes - **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. No concrete malicious behavior was established, but an automatic lifecycle hook and bundled download-and-execution capability remain under incomplete static coverage. Downgrade for warning rather than blocking. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 68.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-11T20:58:06.283Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-11T21:00:27.407Z - **Download time:** 255 ms - **Static scan time:** 6414 ms - **AI review time:** 134453 ms - **Total time:** 141124 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:** npm installation automatically loads the postinstall module, which inspected source shows only logs a message. Separate bundled helpers can download and execute a fixed SCIP tool when invoked by runtime functionality; no install-time invocation was confirmed. - **Trigger:** Installing the package runs postinstall; runtime commands may invoke the bundled SCIP helper. - **Impact:** No confirmed credential theft, exfiltration, destructive action, or install-time foreign control-surface mutation was found. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-11T21:00:27.407Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Lifecycle module loading plus optional verified binary download and local command execution. - **Rationale:** No concrete malicious behavior was established, but an automatic lifecycle hook and bundled download-and-execution capability remain under incomplete static coverage. Downgrade for warning rather than blocking. - **Network endpoints:** https://github.com/sourcegraph/scip ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 68.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The manifest runs a postinstall program automatically., The postinstall program imports several bundled modules during installation., Bundled code contains a downloader for a fixed Sourcegraph SCIP release and can invoke local executables., Other bundled modules use child-process APIs, and parser code has regex fallback paths; the compressed bundle prevents a decisive clean classification. - **Evidence against:** The postinstall entry itself only prints an installation message and directs the user to run setup later., The binary download and command execution are defined as exported helper functions, with no call from the inspected postinstall entry., The observed endpoint is a named Sourcegraph SCIP release, not an arbitrary collector. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to scip-query@0.26.0. - Review the evidence and your use of scip-query@0.26.0 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. ## Public findings ### 1.
