AI Security Review
scanned 21d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiSource establishes unguarded destructive installation behavior that warrants a warning. The transparent application setup flow and absence of a self-dependency or concealed payload do not support a malware blocking verdict.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
npm installation with lifecycle scripts enabled.
Impact
Existing project source, configuration, workspace files, and build outputs can be lost or overwritten.
Mechanism
The postinstall script resolves destinations three levels above its directory, recursively removes existing paths, and moves packaged application files into their place without ownership checks.
AI rationale
Source establishes unguarded destructive installation behavior that warrants a warning. The transparent application setup flow and absence of a self-dependency or concealed payload do not support a malware blocking verdict.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 92.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- package.json automatically runs npm-post-install.js after installation.
- The installer targets a directory three levels above the package, which is the consumer root in a standard scoped npm installation.
- The installer recursively deletes build, dist, and temp without checking ownership.
- The active install chain deletes and replaces consumer paths including project, workspace, .vscode, settings.json, and main.js.
Evidence against
- The installer is readable and its generated launchers start ActorJs; no deliberate obfuscation or runtime self-dependency was found.
- The flagged Git and test-suite handlers perform application-related configuration checks and test execution; inspected source did not establish credential exfiltration.
