Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 32 low-signal pattern(s) reviewed. - **Verdict:** Manual Review - **Product-default install policy:** Allow - **Firewall policy:** No policy match - **Public report status:** Under Review - **Threat category:** Unknown - **Selected version:** 0.19.0 - **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: manual review; recommendation: manual review. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. Inspected source shows package-local install setup and search-provider authentication, with no concrete attack established. Required runtime and provider coverage remains unresolved, so manual review is appropriate. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Manual Review - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 55.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-17T16:07:51.669Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-17T16:09:31.014Z - **Download time:** 1527 ms - **Static scan time:** 10070 ms - **AI review time:** 87747 ms - **Total time:** 99345 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 concrete attack was established in the inspected source, but the available inspection does not resolve the full runtime and provider behavior. - **Trigger:** The package postinstall hook runs during installation; search requests run when the web-search function is used. - **Impact:** The inspected behavior supports package setup and search. Unresolved source coverage prevents ruling out other relevant behavior. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.mjs, server/endpoints/system.js, server/utils/agents/aibitat/plugins/web-browsing.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-17T16:09:31.014Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The hook installs dependencies into package-owned subdirectories and generates a missing Prisma client. The inspected search function sends its configured key to its selected provider. - **Rationale:** Inspected source shows package-local install setup and search-provider authentication, with no concrete attack established. Required runtime and provider coverage remains unresolved, so manual review is appropriate. - **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall.mjs, server/endpoints/system.js, server/utils/agents/aibitat/plugins/web-browsing.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Manual Review - **Confidence:** 55.0% - **Recommended action:** manual\_review - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **AI review observations:** The manifest declares a postinstall hook that runs scripts/postinstall.mjs; the hook installs production dependencies in the package's server and collector directories and generates a missing Prisma client., The inspected credential-related routes handle login, account setup, registration, and profile updates; the web-search plugin sends a user-configured search key to the corresponding provider., Source inspection did not resolve the full required runtime and provider coverage, so the available evidence is insufficient for a clean verdict. - **Evidence against:** The inspected postinstall behavior is package-local setup, and the inspected search-key transfer is to its configured search provider. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to totem-llm@0.19.0. - Review the evidence and your use of totem-llm@0.19.0 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.
