AI Security Review
scanned 21d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiSource confirms unguarded install-time deletion and replacement outside the package directory. No self-dependency chain, covert exfiltration, or other evidence establishes malicious intent, so the destructive capability warrants a warning.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
npm installation with lifecycle scripts enabled.
Impact
Existing project files and directories can be irreversibly deleted or overwritten when installed outside the expected ActorJs layout.
Mechanism
The postinstall hook uses fixed ancestor paths, recursive forced deletion, and file moves to deploy application content.
AI rationale
Source confirms unguarded install-time deletion and replacement outside the package directory. No self-dependency chain, covert exfiltration, or other evidence establishes malicious intent, so the destructive capability warrants a warning.
Evidence

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 91.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- package.json automatically loads npm-post-install.js after installation and declares no runtime dependencies.
- npm-post-install.js targets an ancestor three directories above the installed package.
- The installer recursively deletes build, dist, and temp without verifying ownership.
- The installer recursively removes destination files and directories before replacing them with package content.
- Automatic replacement includes .vscode, project, workspace, settings.json, main.js, and repos.json.
Evidence against
- The installer is readable and implements ActorJs application deployment; no deliberate obfuscation or runtime self-dependency was found.
- The flagged Git handler reads configuration on request; inspected source did not establish credential exfiltration or AI-agent control hijacking.
