⚠ 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

Inspected source did not establish an active attack or an independent warning-level risk. Clean requires twelve distinct path citations, while this response permits at most eight, so the result remains manual review under the stated citation rule.

Static reason

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

Trigger

No malicious trigger was established in the inspected files.

Impact

No confirmed attack impact was established from these excerpts.

Mechanism

The inspected CLI dispatches user-selected scripts, and its API helper uses a loaded session; the flagged container setup is a development provisioning hook.

AI rationale

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Manual Review at 79.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.

AI review observations

The manifest declares a server entry point and a CLI executable, with no lifecycle scripts shown.
The CLI runs package scripts only when a user invokes a command; its `exec` path accepts a package-relative script path.
The shared CLI helper loads a session for API calls and checks whether it belongs to another instance.
The flagged container setup runs `npm ci` as part of devcontainer provisioning, not an npm package lifecycle hook.
