AI Security Review
scanned 4d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe flagged credential and network flows are tied to user-invoked CLI features and send credentials to the corresponding configured service. Self-host registration reports deployment metadata to Auspex, is disclosed, and can be disabled.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
The CLI runs when a user invokes a command; self-host registration occurs during `auspex selfhost up`.
Impact
No unauthorized collection or action was found in the reviewed flows.
Mechanism
It sends Auspex session requests to the configured Auspex server, uses Google OAuth endpoints for login, and uses gcloud credentials to copy images to the user-selected registry.
AI rationale
The flagged credential and network flows are tied to user-invoked CLI features and send credentials to the corresponding configured service. Self-host registration reports deployment metadata to Auspex, is disclosed, and can be disabled.

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 exposes a CLI entry point and declares no install lifecycle scripts.
- Self-host registration runs from the explicit `selfhost up` command and sends deployment metadata to the server saved at login.
- Registration uses the Auspex session token for that configured server; usage reporting can be disabled with `AUSPEX_USAGE_REPORTING=off`.
- The Google login flow sends its authorization code and refresh-token request to Google's OAuth endpoints.
Evidence against
- The scanner flags credential transmission, shell execution and `run.googleapis.com`, but reviewed flows use credentials for their intended Auspex, Google or user-selected registry services.
- The new registration reports image version, organization name, service-account email and app URL; the CLI discloses the organization name prompt and offers an opt-out.
