⚠ Under reviewBotBuddy — Swarm coordination CLI for multi-agent workflows
AI Security Review
scanned 10d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe inspected JavaScript did not establish a concrete attack, and the wait credential flow uses the BotBuddy relay by default. The shipped native daemon executables remain materially unresolved, so a clean verdict is not supported.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
Use of the platform daemon; the exact activation behavior remains unresolved.
Impact
Unknown until the daemon executables are analyzed.
Mechanism
The package includes macOS and Linux daemon binaries, but available offline analysis could not determine their behavior.
AI rationale
The inspected JavaScript did not establish a concrete attack, and the wait credential flow uses the BotBuddy relay by default. The shipped native daemon executables remain materially unresolved, so a clean verdict is not supported.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Manual Review at 95.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.
AI review observations
- The package includes a daemon directory, and its CLI source stages a daemon binary.
- Offline analysis could not identify the format or behavior of either shipped daemon executable, leaving their runtime unresolved.
- The inspected wait flow defaults to the BotBuddy relay, validates session tokens, and sends them with relay requests.
Evidence against
- The manifest declares no install lifecycle hook. The inspected JavaScript did not establish a concrete attack.
