AI Security Review
scanned 11d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and the flagged operations are reachable through user-invoked CLI functionality. Source inspection found no concrete malicious behavior, so the scanner hints do not warrant a warning or block.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
A user invokes the CLI, chooses scaffolding or sharing, or submits a license key for validation.
Impact
No confirmed malicious effect or automatic install-time mutation was established.
Mechanism
The package runs bounded git and browser commands, sends license validation data to its configured service, and writes scaffold files into the chosen project directory.
AI rationale
The manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and the flagged operations are reachable through user-invoked CLI functionality. Source inspection found no concrete malicious behavior, so the scanner hints do not warrant a warning or block.
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 91.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The manifest exposes a user-invoked CLI and has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook.
- Discussion sharing builds a post from audit data and is an explicit CLI feature.
- Browser opening invokes the platform browser with a supplied URL.
- License validation sends a supplied key and device identifier to the configured gatekeeper endpoint.
- Scaffolding targets a named project directory and checks that it is empty before writing.
- Git metadata detection runs bounded git commands to read the repository remote.
