@bongos/core@1.20.29

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 hook or runtime self-dependency, and the flagged source locations resolve to normal platform behavior, tests, or vendored documentation. Agent configuration materialization is part of explicit init and upgrade flows, so the scanner hints do not establish an attack surface.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.

Trigger

The package exposes a server entrypoint and a CLI; Claude project files are materialized by init or upgrade commands.

Impact

No confirmed credential disclosure, destructive behavior, or unconsented agent control change was established.

Mechanism

The reviewed code normalizes metrics paths, reports skill-lint results, tallies matured peer votes, and writes project-local agent files during setup.

AI rationale

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Clean at 91.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for AI clean decision

package.json defines the package entry points and ordinary dependencies but no lifecycle scripts or runtime dependency on itself.
The CLI dispatches commands to package scripts; the inspected server entrypoint configures a local host and port.
Claude project files are materialized through explicit init and upgrade flows; init preserves existing files, and upgrade supports a dry run.
The flagged metrics code normalizes request paths; the skill hook parses tool input and prints lint findings, while the routine timer performs the platform's peer-vote tally.
The flagged secret and bidi matches occur in synthetic tests, the bundled Redoc file is third-party output, and the fitness check uses `npx --no-install`.

Evidence against

No install lifecycle trigger or self-dependency appears in the manifest.
The inspected agent configuration writes are part of explicit project setup and upgrade behavior.
The source locations behind the runtime account-action hints show lint input and output, not authenticated account actions.
