@bongos/core@1.19.1058

⚠ Under review

Cloud Bongos — the AI-first build platform core (GDS + platform surfaces + module system), installed as a versioned dependency (ADR 0108).

AI Security Review

scanned 5d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The inspected manifest has no lifecycle hooks, and the reviewed setup behavior is explicitly invoked. The activation and consent paths for all flagged runtime and agent-related source were not resolved, so the evidence is insufficient to classify the package as clean or malicious.

Static reason

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

Trigger

Package installation has no declared lifecycle script; the inspected agent setup runs through an explicit CLI initialization path.

Impact

The available source does not establish unauthorized data transfer, control-surface abuse, or another concrete attack.

Mechanism

Initialization can materialize project-level agent settings, while onboarding code references local transcript spooling; the excerpts do not establish all activation and consent conditions.

AI rationale

Evidence

package.jsonscripts/gds/init.jsscripts/gds/claude-materialize.jsscripts/gds/onboarding-config.js.claude/settings.json~/.config/otb/onboarding-spool/

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Manual Review at 58.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.

AI review observations

The manifest declares runtime entrypoints and dependencies but no lifecycle scripts.
The inspected initialization path gates writes on acceptance; the package materializer creates starter agent settings during that explicit setup.
The dispatcher lazily loads bundled CLI commands, and the inspected ratchet description identifies local git and filesystem work.
The package also contains onboarding transcript-spooling code; the inspected excerpt does not establish its activation or consent path.

Evidence against

The reviewed source does not establish a concrete attack or resolve the activation and consent behavior of all identified runtime and agent-integration paths.
