AI Security Review
scanned 10d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe inspected manifest has no lifecycle script, and the installer source describes digest verification before running the daemon as an unprivileged service identity. Both shipped native daemon binaries remain behaviorally unresolved, so the package cannot be marked clean or classified as malicious from the available evidence.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
A user invoking daemon setup or update can cause a bundled daemon executable to be installed and run.
Impact
Unknown; the unresolved executable behavior prevents a clean verdict.
Mechanism
The installer stages and verifies the executable, but its runtime behavior remains uninspected because the artifact analyses did not recognize either binary format.
AI rationale
The inspected manifest has no lifecycle script, and the installer source describes digest verification before running the daemon as an unprivileged service identity. Both shipped native daemon binaries remain behaviorally unresolved, so the package cannot be marked clean or classified as malicious from the available evidence.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Manual Review at 99.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.
AI review observations
- package.json exposes command-line entrypoints and has no lifecycle script in its manifest.
- daemon-release/manifest.json lists bundled macOS and Linux daemon binaries.
- The daemon staging code describes a hash-verified payload run by an unprivileged service identity.
- The offline analysis for the macOS daemon could not identify its format or behavior.
- The offline analysis for the Linux daemon could not identify its format or behavior.
- The installer verifies the daemon digest and checks its identity and configuration before installation.
Evidence against
- The daemon binaries’ behavior remains unresolved; their presence and unsupported format do not establish an attack.
