Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 14 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:** 1.6.8 - **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 install hook performs package-aligned Puppeteer browser setup, and the inspected source uses WeChat session data for WeChat media uploads. No concrete malicious behavior was established in the required source paths. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 87.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-10T02:19:01.459Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-10T02:19:34.459Z - **Download time:** 260 ms - **Static scan time:** 398 ms - **AI review time:** 32340 ms - **Total time:** 33000 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 attack was identified. The inspected install, orchestration, upload, and CLI behavior is consistent with the package’s WeChat bridge and agent-dispatch functions. - **Trigger:** Installation downloads Chromium only if Puppeteer cannot find it; agent dispatch and media upload occur when those features are used. - **Impact:** These inspected behaviors do not establish an attack surface or unauthorized credential disclosure. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-10T02:19:34.459Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The install hook sets a package-specific browser cache and may install Chrome. Dispatch places the chosen agent file in its task directory, and uploads use WeChat-provided parameters and URL. - **Rationale:** The install hook performs package-aligned Puppeteer browser setup, and the inspected source uses WeChat session data for WeChat media uploads. No concrete malicious behavior was established in the required source paths. - **Files touched:** package.json, src/orchestrator.js, src/upload.js, src/cli.js - **Network endpoints:** wx.qq.com, file.wx.qq.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 87.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The postinstall hook configures Puppeteer’s Chromium cache under the package’s data directory and installs Chrome there if missing., During agent dispatch, the orchestrator links or copies the selected agent file to the task directory’s AGENTS.md., Media uploads use WeChat upload parameters and send the session cookie to the resulting upload URL., The CLI’s daemon setup runs when started in daemon mode or as a plain TTY run. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to wechat-bro@1.6.8. - Review the evidence and your use of wechat-bro@1.6.8 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.
