- **Verdict:** Clean
- **Product-default install policy:** Allow
- **Firewall policy:** No policy match
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** None published
- **Selected version:** 0.2.16
- **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 postinstall hook only prints a message directing users to run setup. The inspected Aider and OMP adapter behavior supports a local provider integration and does not establish malicious activity.

## Latest scan

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 identified in the inspected install hook or required adapter files. The OMP adapter contains an explicit setup integration for its named provider and extension.

- **Trigger:** Package installation runs the postinstall hint; configuration changes require a separate setup action.

- **Impact:** No attack impact was established from the inspected source.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-09T06:28:50.847Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The postinstall branch prints a setup instruction. The inspected adapter creates local proxy configuration during setup.

- **Rationale:** The postinstall hook only prints a message directing users to run setup. The inspected Aider and OMP adapter behavior supports a local provider integration and does not establish malicious activity.

- **Files touched:** package.json, setup.mjs, cli/adapters/aider.mjs, cli/adapters/omp.mjs

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 89.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The postinstall hook runs setup.mjs with --postinstall-hint; that branch only prints a message asking the user to run setup., The Aider adapter creates a process-local environment file for the local proxy when the user configures that harness., The OMP adapter checks for its agent configuration before adding a managed provider and extension integration.

- **Evidence against:** Installing the package alone does not run harness setup or mutate agent configuration., The inspected OMP integration is part of an explicit setup flow and targets the package's named OMP extension and provider.

## Affected versions and remediation
