## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 11 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:** 9.52.1
- **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 critical lifecycle finding is a false positive in this snapshot because its only target file is absent. The remaining network behavior is package-aligned chat and opt-in insight functionality, with no concrete malicious chain.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean

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 confirmed malicious attack surface. The install hook is guarded by a file that is not shipped, and normal SDK networking is activated during chat use.

- **Trigger:** Installing the package or using the chat client with insight reporting enabled.

- **Impact:** No install-time mutation or malicious execution was confirmed.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-07T22:59:11.883Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** A guarded no-op install hook and package-aligned chat telemetry.

- **Rationale:** The critical lifecycle finding is a false positive in this snapshot because its only target file is absent. The remaining network behavior is package-aligned chat and opt-in insight functionality, with no concrete malicious chain.

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 98.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest defines an inline postinstall command., The SDK can post connection-insight data to a Stream-owned telemetry host.

- **Evidence against:** The postinstall command only imports scripts/install-husky.mjs when it exists; that file is absent from this package snapshot, so the hook is a no-op., The manifest contains no self-dependency or install-time downloaded payload., Insight reporting is conditional on enableInsights and is part of the chat SDK's connection handling., No source evidence shows credential harvesting, shell execution, project mutation, or persistence.

## Affected versions and remediation

- Review the evidence and your use of stream-chat@9.52.1 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report.
