@bongos/core@1.19.959

⚠ 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 15d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The inspected source does not establish malicious behavior or an independent warning-level risk. A clean result requires citations for 12 distinct paths, but the citation limit is 8, so the requested clean citation coverage cannot be provided.

Static reason

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

Trigger

Devcontainer creation or explicit invocation of the CLI exec verb.

Impact

No malicious effect was established from the inspected source.

Mechanism

The devcontainer runs a repository setup script; the CLI can spawn a package-relative script after validating its path.

AI rationale

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Manual Review at 88.0% confidence as Unknown with low false-positive risk.

AI review observations

package.json declares a server entrypoint and a CLI binary; no npm lifecycle hooks are declared.
The devcontainer explicitly runs the repository's setup script during first-run provisioning.
The CLI's exec verb accepts a constrained package-relative script path and launches it as a child process.

Evidence against

The flagged setup behavior is tied to explicit devcontainer provisioning; the inspected manifest has no install lifecycle hook.
The CLI path validation rejects absolute paths and parent-directory traversal.
