Chemical X Protocol: Private drop-in architecture starter kit and capsule generator

AI Security Review

scanned 11d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The manifest exposes a CLI and has no install lifecycle hook. Inspected network, process, and file operations support license validation, report sharing, and user-invoked scaffolding; no concrete attack surface was established.

Static reason

No blocking static signals were detected.; source closely matched a different package identity; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source

Trigger

The user runs the CLI to scaffold, initialize, audit, or share a report.

Impact

These actions are aligned with the CLI functions and are user-invoked; no confirmed malicious behavior was established.

Mechanism

License validation contacts the configured gatekeeper; scaffolding writes files into the selected project directory; sharing publishes report content through GitHub Discussions.

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Clean at 91.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for AI clean decision

package.json exposes the CLI through bin entries; its scripts contain no install lifecycle hook.
License validation sends the supplied license key and device identifier to the configured Chemical X gatekeeper.
The scaffold writes a project-local rules file as part of the invoked scaffolding command.
Discussion content is generated from an audit report and project details for the publish flow.
Repository detection reads Git remotes through bounded git commands.
Browser opening uses platform utilities with the supplied URL; no shell string execution is shown.
