## Verdict summary
**Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 14 finding(s) warrant review before installing.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Matched warn-list
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Remote Code Execution
- **Selected version:** 2.12.5
- **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: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

The source confirms scene-provided custom scripts execute in the viewer runtime, leaving a meaningful code execution risk for loaded scenes. The manifest shows only a prepublishOnly build hook, and the inspected evidence does not support blocking the package as malicious.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 87.0%

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:** The viewer executes custom JavaScript supplied in scene configuration. This creates a real code execution capability when a scene containing a script is loaded.

- **Trigger:** Loading a scene with a nonempty customScript field initializes and runs the script.

- **Impact:** The script can act with the capabilities available to the embedding page; the inspected source does not establish that this capability is used for malicious behavior.

- **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-17T17:10:55.123Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The runtime constructs the script with Function and invokes it in the viewer's JavaScript realm.

- **Rationale:** The source confirms scene-provided custom scripts execute in the viewer runtime, leaving a meaningful code execution risk for loaded scenes. The manifest shows only a prepublishOnly build hook, and the inspected evidence does not support blocking the package as malicious.

- **Files touched:** dist/index.js

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 87.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** The manifest points Node and browser consumers to the inspected distribution entrypoints., Scene configuration carries a customScript field into the viewer runtime., The viewer initializes and executes a nonempty custom script, creating it with JavaScript's Function constructor., The manifest's prepublishOnly hook runs the package build.

- **Evidence against:** The manifest hook is a build step, not an install hook; the inspected code does not establish credential theft or package-controlled data exfiltration.

## Affected versions and remediation
