AI Security Review
scanned 3mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiSource inspection found a bundled authentication SDK with package-aligned runtime telemetry, not malicious install-time or runtime behavior. The static hints are explained by legitimate network, wallet, and telemetry dependencies.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Application imports and initializes the Clerk SDK with telemetry enabled.
Impact
No install-time mutation, payload execution, credential harvesting, or persistence was confirmed.
Mechanism
Authentication SDK runtime requests and optional telemetry batching.
AI rationale
Source inspection found a bundled authentication SDK with package-aligned runtime telemetry, not malicious install-time or runtime behavior. The static hints are explained by legitimate network, wallet, and telemetry dependencies.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 94.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- Runtime telemetry posts event/log data to Clerk's telemetry service.
- Telemetry conditionally includes only the first 16 characters of a supplied secret key.
- Entrypoints are bundled Clerk library targets; manifest has no npm lifecycle hook.
Evidence against
- No preinstall, install, or postinstall script is declared.
- No child-process, filesystem-write, or AI-agent-control-surface behavior was found in inspected package artifacts.
- Network behavior is package-aligned authentication/telemetry functionality, not a staged payload chain.

Copied Package Dependency Bridge
Package metadata claims a different repository identity while copied source loads a runtime dependency bridge.
