## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 21 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:** 11.7.0
- **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.

No confirmed attack surface was identified. The install hook performs package-local setup, and telemetry execution requires an explicit environment setting.

## 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 attack surface was identified. The install hook performs package-local setup, and telemetry execution requires an explicit environment setting.

- **Trigger:** Package installation triggers the postinstall hook; the update helper requires direct execution.

- **Impact:** No unconsented credential collection, foreign control-surface mutation, payload download, or destructive action was identified.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-29T03:28:28.984Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The launcher imports its packaged runtime, while the helper invokes a local runtime in hint-only mode.

- **Rationale:** The inspected lifecycle and launcher paths show package-local runtime setup and an explicitly gated telemetry path, not a concrete malicious action. No self-dependency or active exfiltration chain was found in the inspected entry points.

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 86.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json registers only the inspected postinstall entry point., The launcher imports the packaged runtime after setting its argument vector., Runtime path helpers create only package-specific log and run directories., The update helper starts the local runtime with an upgrade hint-only argument., Install telemetry is gated on an explicit environment value before its child process is started.
