AI Security Review
scanned 12d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe active postinstall hook deletes and replaces content in the parent project, creating a concrete risk of data loss. The inspected source does not establish a malicious payload or network activity, so this warrants a warning rather than a block.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source fingerprint signature matched known malicious package; routed for review
Trigger
Installing the package through npm triggers its postinstall script.
Impact
Existing parent-project content in those locations can be deleted or replaced during installation.
Mechanism
The script computes paths above the package directory, recursively removes build, dist, and temp, then removes destinations and renames package files into the parent project.
AI rationale
The active postinstall hook deletes and replaces content in the parent project, creating a concrete risk of data loss. The inspected source does not establish a malicious payload or network activity, so this warrants a warning rather than a block.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 91.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The manifest runs npm-post-install.js automatically during postinstall.
- The hook recursively deletes build, dist, and temp directories at its computed parent path.
- The hook removes existing destinations before moving package files into the parent project, including project, workspace, and settings.json.
Evidence against
- The flagged test-suite file shows ordinary static imports; the inspected excerpt contains no dynamic loading or install behavior.
- The inspected install-hook excerpts show filesystem mutation and local setup, with no network or credential transmission.
