⚠ Under reviewBotBuddy — Swarm coordination CLI for multi-agent workflows
AI Security Review
scanned 8d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe source review did not establish malicious behavior, but both shipped native daemon executables remain materially unresolved after offline inspection. Manual review is warranted; the binaries alone do not establish an attack.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
Launching a package entry point or the Playwright daemon may invoke a bundled daemon executable; the relevant activation path is unresolved.
Impact
The binaries' effects on the host remain unknown; no concrete malicious behavior was verified.
Mechanism
The available offline analyses could not structurally or executably inspect either daemon binary.
AI rationale
The source review did not establish malicious behavior, but both shipped native daemon executables remain materially unresolved after offline inspection. Manual review is warranted; the binaries alone do not establish an attack.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Manual Review at 98.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.
AI review observations
- package.json declares CLI entry points and includes the daemon directory in the package files.
- The Darwin daemon is a 12 MB executable whose behavior the offline analysis could not resolve.
- The Linux daemon is a 13 MB executable whose behavior the offline analysis could not resolve.
- The Playwright daemon module resolves the Playwright CLI and launches it as a child process.
