AI Security Review
scanned 21d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiSource inspection confirms dangerous automatic deletion and replacement outside the package, warranting a warning. Application-aligned setup and the absence of a proven malicious chain make a low-false-positive publication block unsupported.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
npm installation with lifecycle scripts enabled.
Impact
Existing consumer files can be deleted or overwritten depending on the installation layout.
Mechanism
The postinstall script uses relative ancestor paths, recursive forced deletion, and file replacement without ownership checks or confirmation.
AI rationale
Source inspection confirms dangerous automatic deletion and replacement outside the package, warranting a warning. Application-aligned setup and the absence of a proven malicious chain make a low-false-positive publication block unsupported.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 93.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- package.json automatically loads npm-post-install.js after installation and has no runtime self-dependency.
- The installer targets a directory three levels above the package.
- The installer recursively deletes build, dist, and temp directories without checking their ownership.
- The installer deletes existing destinations before replacing project, workspace, settings.json, and other application files.
- The installer also invokes npm to install @aj-shadow/z-build-project.
Evidence against
- Launcher generation and shell aliases are consistent with the inspected ActorJs application structure.
- No concrete credential exfiltration, deliberate obfuscation, or foreign AI-agent control mutation was established.
