@bongos/core@1.20.49

⚠ 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 inspected source does not substantiate the scanner’s malicious label: there are no package lifecycle scripts, and the reviewed onboarding and agent setup paths appear consent-gated or explicitly invoked. The package has extensive runtime code that this inspection did not resolve, so a clean verdict is not adequately supported.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.

Trigger

Unresolved; no malicious trigger was verified.

Impact

No concrete harmful impact was established from the inspected source.

Mechanism

The reviewed excerpts show consent-gated transcript staging and user-command agent setup, but do not establish the behavior of the unreviewed runtime paths.

AI rationale

Evidence

package.jsonscripts/gds/onboarding-config.jsscripts/gds/skill-lint.jsscripts/gds/init.jsscripts/gds/claude-materialize.jsscripts/gds/upgrade.js

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Manual Review at 56.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.

AI review observations

package.json defines a CLI and server entry point and has no lifecycle scripts.
The onboarding shipper checks saved consent and the active window before staging transcripts.
The inspected skill hook reads a changed file path and runs a local lint; no account action is visible in that excerpt.
The reviewed agent setup excerpts describe materializing package-owned Claude skills during init or upgrade.
