AI Security Review
scanned 13d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiSource inspection confirms automatic binary installation and a skill refresh command in postinstall, creating a bounded first-party extension lifecycle risk. Binary downloads are hash-checked, and the inspected source does not establish malicious behavior or broader control-surface mutation.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
Installing the package, which runs its postinstall hook.
Impact
The CLI may synchronize its skills during package installation; the inspected source does not establish what files the binary changes.
Mechanism
Downloads and hash-checks a platform binary, then invokes it with the skill refresh command.
AI rationale
Source inspection confirms automatic binary installation and a skill refresh command in postinstall, creating a bounded first-party extension lifecycle risk. Binary downloads are hash-checked, and the inspected source does not establish malicious behavior or broader control-surface mutation.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 82.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The package automatically runs a postinstall script.
- The install hook downloads a platform binary and verifies its SHA-256 before accepting it.
- After installation, the hook invokes the CLI's skill refresh command without an explicit user action in the script.
Evidence against
- The manifest pairs platform binaries with pinned hashes and matching BytePlus release fallbacks.
- The skill archive is supplied by the package manifest as a versioned BytePlus CLI resource.
