@bongos/core@1.19.1079

⚠ 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 scanner matches did not establish malicious behavior, but this review did not resolve the full agent-configuration behavior or the remaining required runtime paths. Manual review is needed to distinguish normal setup from a residual risk.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.

Trigger

An operator invokes the package upgrade command.

Impact

The available source does not establish harmful effects, but the agent configuration behavior needs further inspection.

Mechanism

The upgrade flow calls agent-file materialization; the inspected source does not show the full set of files written or the applicable consent checks.

AI rationale

Evidence

scripts/gds/claude-materialize.jsscripts/gds/upgrade.js

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Manual Review at 47.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.

AI review observations

The package exposes a server entrypoint and CLI, with no lifecycle script shown in the inspected manifest excerpt.
The upgrade path materializes package-provided agent files into an instance, but the inspected excerpt does not establish the full consent and destination behavior.
The flagged skill-lint path reads a tool event, checks changed skill files, and prints lint findings.

Evidence against

The inspected CLI source describes child-process execution as dispatch to the package's own scripts.
The inspected skill-lint path reports lint results and sets a successful exit status; it does not show account actions.
