## Verdict summary
**Blocked & quarantined** — Older Node installations are rejected; no unconsented collection or exfiltration established.

- **Verdict:** Malicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Block
- **Firewall policy:** Matched malicious
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Malware
- **Selected version:** 1.0.0
- **Selected version is latest:** Yes
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

Trusted malware advisory MAL-2026-17451 identifies this version as malicious. Firewall keeps the version blocked under its trusted-intelligence policy. An AI recommendation to allow or warn does not override that advisory.

AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

No confirmed malicious attack surface. Installation executes only a local Node-version compatibility check; network and media helpers require runtime calls.

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. Installation executes only a local Node-version compatibility check; network and media helpers require runtime calls.

- **Trigger:** npm preinstall or explicit runtime helper invocation

- **Impact:** Older Node installations are rejected; no unconsented collection or exfiltration established.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, engine-requirements.js, lib/Utils/messages-media.js, lib/Utils/generics.js, lib/Store/make-in-memory-store.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-02T05:35:05.119Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Node version validation and caller-supplied media processing

- **Rationale:** Direct inspection shows the preinstall hook only enforces Node 20+. Flagged dynamic loading, process spawning, file writes, and networking are explicit runtime media/library utilities, not an install-time or import-time malicious chain.

- **Files touched:** engine-requirements.js

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 93.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** Preinstall runs only a Node-version gate.

- **Evidence against:** No install-time network, file harvesting, or control-surface mutation found., The uploader sends only its caller-provided buffer when explicitly invoked., eval dynamically loads optional audio decoding; it does not evaluate received code., ffmpeg invocation uses a fixed executable and constructed argument array.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to wailib@1.0.0.

- Avoid installing wailib@1.0.0. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies.
- Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe.
- If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment.
