- **Selected version:** 0.4.0
- **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.

The package’s network and process activity matches its disclosed purpose: connecting a user’s local agent tools to WildCrane tasks. The flagged credential and shell references did not reveal automatic exfiltration or unrelated execution.

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 package is a local runner for WildCrane tasks.

- **Trigger:** A user invokes the wildcrane-runner command; the runner signs in if needed, connects to WildCrane, and runs assigned jobs through a local agent tool.

- **Impact:** Observed network access, process execution, and local state writes serve the package’s disclosed runner and update functions.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-31T03:50:58.127Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** It contacts WildCrane and npm for service tasks and runner updates, and launches the selected local agent with the inherited environment. Updates are checked against registry integrity metadata.

- **Rationale:** The package’s network and process activity matches its disclosed purpose: connecting a user’s local agent tools to WildCrane tasks. The flagged credential and shell references did not reveal automatic exfiltration or unrelated execution.

- **Files touched:** ~/.wildcrane/machine.json, ~/.wildcrane/runner/state.json, ~/.wildcrane/runner/\<version\>/dist/runner.mjs, ~/.wildcrane/work/, \<project\>/.akb/kanban

- **Network endpoints:** api.ai4kanban.dev, yajrbpprmdvtkvjjfpbk.supabase.co, registry.npmjs.org

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 97.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The package describes itself as connecting to WildCrane and running its jobs through local Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, or Cursor., The README says the runner signs in through a browser on first start and updates to the version WildCrane names., The launcher verifies downloaded runner tarballs against the npm registry’s SHA-512 integrity value before installing them., The runner passes the environment to the selected local agent harness to carry out the requested task.

- **Evidence against:** The credential-related references are provider settings and environment passed to local agent tools; I found no flow sending discovered credentials to an unrelated host., The curl-to-shell strings are installer commands for supported agent tools, not automatic startup or install actions., The prepare script invokes a build command; no install-time data collection or unrelated network contact was identified.

## Affected versions and remediation
