AI Security Review
scanned 13d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe lifecycle-triggered binary download and automatic skill refresh create an unresolved first-party extension setup risk, while the visible installer verifies the binary digest. Classify as suspicious and warn because the inspected source does not establish a concrete attack.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Installing the package with lifecycle scripts enabled.
Impact
The binary may perform skill setup during installation; its effects cannot be confirmed from the inspected JavaScript source.
Mechanism
The postinstall script downloads a manifest-selected binary, checks its SHA-256 digest, and invokes it with +connect --refresh.
AI rationale
The lifecycle-triggered binary download and automatic skill refresh create an unresolved first-party extension setup risk, while the visible installer verifies the binary digest. Classify as suspicious and warn because the inspected source does not establish a concrete attack.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 81.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The package’s postinstall hook runs scripts/postinstall.js automatically.
- The installer downloads a platform binary from a manifest source and verifies its SHA-256 digest before accepting it.
- After installation, the postinstall script automatically invokes the binary’s +connect --refresh skill-sync command.
- The package source does not reveal what that binary does during skill sync, leaving the automatic setup’s effects unresolved.
Evidence against
- The installer checks downloaded binary bytes against the manifest’s expected SHA-256 digest.
- The visible launcher runs the installed binary with the caller’s arguments and inherited standard streams.
