@bongos/core@1.20.24

⚠ 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 manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and the inspected runtime and agent-related excerpts do not establish an attack. The broad server and CLI behavior remains unresolved, so the source does not support either a clean verdict or a concrete warning.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.

Trigger

No malicious trigger was established in the inspected excerpts.

Impact

No malicious impact was established from the inspected source.

Mechanism

The inspected code includes a lint hook and setup or upgrade helpers; their excerpts do not establish an attack mechanism.

AI rationale

Evidence

src/platform-server.jsscripts/gds/upgrade.jsscripts/gds/claude-materialize.js

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Manual Review at 55.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.

AI review observations

package.json identifies the package, exposes a server entrypoint and CLI, and declares no install lifecycle scripts.
The skill-lint hook reads tool input only to identify changed skill files and print lint findings; its direct CLI entrypoint runs only when invoked as the main module.
The inspected setup and upgrade excerpts concern project documentation, Claude materialization, worktree detection, and module scaffolding; they do not establish an unauthorized agent-control change.

Evidence against

The package has a broad server and CLI surface, and the inspected excerpts do not resolve all runtime behavior or all callers.
