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

Source inspection found no concrete malicious behavior. The agent configuration setup is part of explicit CLI workflows, and the scanner’s strongest matches resolve to tests, documentation, or local quality tooling.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.

Trigger

The reviewed agent setup runs through explicit init or upgrade commands; the manifest defines no install lifecycle hook.

Impact

No unauthorized credential transfer, account action, persistence, or other concrete attack effect was established.

Mechanism

The setup writes project-level agent configuration, while the package’s runtime and CLI matches inspected here serve platform, metrics, and local tooling functions.

AI rationale

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Clean at 94.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for AI clean decision

package.json declares the server and CLI entrypoints, dependencies, and exports; it has no install lifecycle script or runtime dependency on itself.
Agent files are materialized by the explicit init or upgrade workflows. The starter config contains permissions only, and existing settings are preserved in adopt mode.
The metrics path records HTTP request counts and durations. The skill-lint hook checks changed skill files and prints diagnostics; it does not perform account actions.
The flagged package-manager call uses npx --no-install to run a local code-quality scan. The flagged tests describe synthetic fixtures and prompt-injection defenses.
The inspected grading, update, database, module, and server files belong to the package’s platform functionality; no concrete attack behavior was established.

Evidence against

Scanner flags point to dynamic code, child processes, test fixtures, and broad network references, but the inspected source ties these to the bundled documentation, local tooling, tests, or ordinary platform functionality.
