AI Security Review

scanned 5d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

No install-time attack or malicious behavior was established. The automatic grader has a residual file-reading risk because its non-root model workers use bypassPermissions without a source-level read-path restriction, so this warrants a warning rather than a block.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source

Trigger

A grading operation that invokes judge workers.

Impact

An injected artifact could steer a worker to read other files available to its process and include their contents in the model conversation. Read-only tools, disabled MCP servers, and prompt fencing reduce this risk.

Mechanism

Workers receive builder-controlled artifacts and run the Claude CLI with a configurable working directory, bypassPermissions, and the Read tool.

AI rationale

Evidence

modules/grading/grade-engine.jsmodules/grading/grader-subagent.jsmodules/grading/grader-workers/index.jsmodules/grading/grader-workers/fence.js

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 75.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.

Evidence for warning

The package manifest exposes a server and CLI, and has no npm lifecycle script.
During grading, the engine runs judge workers that invoke a model subagent with the worker prompt.
The subagent uses a caller-supplied working directory or the process directory. Non-root runs use bypassPermissions, with the Read tool enabled and MCP servers disabled.
Builder-controlled task and diff content enters worker prompts. The prompts fence this content as data, which reduces prompt-injection risk.
The tagged account-action locations in skill-lint.js parse a hook input and print lint warnings; the metrics location normalizes HTTP route labels.
The indicated agent-integration locations concern project documentation, transcript paths, command rewriting, module scaffolding, upgrade materialization, and gate paths.

Evidence against

The package has no install-time trigger for the grading behavior.
The grader is limited to the Read tool and disables MCP servers; source also includes prompt fencing for builder-controlled content.
The inspected skill-lint account-action hints do not perform authenticated account actions.
