@apso/cli@0.45.1
Apso CLI
AI Security Review
scanned 4d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe inspected flagged paths use environment and network access to run project builds, configured database checks, and local CRUD smoke tests. No automatic credential exfiltration, unrelated collector, or other malicious behavior was found.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
Explicit use of CLI commands such as dev or service verification; no install or import trigger was identified.
Impact
No unauthorized data transfer or account action was identified in the inspected paths.
Mechanism
Verification sends HTTP requests to generated service endpoints and, for applicable projects, connects to the database configured by the user. Temporary test directories are cleaned up.
AI rationale
The inspected flagged paths use environment and network access to run project builds, configured database checks, and local CRUD smoke tests. No automatic credential exfiltration, unrelated collector, or other malicious behavior was found.
Evidence
Temporary apso-baseline-*, apso-pglite-* and apso-smoke-* directories under the OS temporary directoryProject build and generated migration paths during explicit verification
Network endpoints2
127.0.0.1:<ephemeral port> for local service smoke tests<hostname>:<port> from the configured DATABASE_URL for database reachability checks
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 91.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The manifest identifies this as the Apso CLI and exposes its command runner as the executable entry point.
- The verification module’s HTTP helper sends requests to a caller-supplied URL; its callers exercise generated service endpoints for CRUD smoke tests.
- Smoke tests that use a database read DATABASE_URL from the environment or project .env and skip if it is absent.
- The dev command performs project setup and starts a development server only when the user runs the command.
- Verification creates temporary local project and database directories and removes them after use.
Evidence against
- The flagged verification code reads environment variables and .env data, but the inspected paths use them to configure local test processes and a configured database connection; no unrelated collector or credential forwarding was identified.
- The dev command’s process and filesystem operations support starting a project’s development server and are not triggered at package install or import.

Critical
Credential Exfiltration
Source appears to send environment or credential material to an external endpoint.
