Deco codegen (generate-blocks, generate-schema, generate-invoke) and Fresh-to-TanStack migration tooling

AI Security Review

scanned 1mo ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

No automatic lifecycle execution or concrete theft, payload execution, or stealth persistence was found. The explicit migration nevertheless writes an always-applied agent rule into another project, so this should be warned rather than marked clean.

Static reason

One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source

Trigger

A user runs the deco-migrate migration workflow.

Impact

Future Cursor sessions in that project can be influenced by the referenced upstream policy.

Mechanism

Writes an always-applied AI-agent policy pointer into the migrated project.

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 86.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for warning

The user-invoked migration writes a Cursor rule marked always applied that directs agent sessions to an upstream policy.
The package exposes executable migration and synchronization CLIs.
The flagged child-process behavior in the audit test is limited to a temporary test fixture.
The observability auditor reads a local configuration only when run as its CLI entrypoint.
The flagged runtime package-manager invocation is confined to an integration test.
KV writes require the explicit --write option and Cloudflare credentials.

Evidence against

package.json has no preinstall, install, postinstall, or prepare lifecycle hook.
No source evidence shows secret harvesting, hidden exfiltration, remote payload execution, or automatic persistence.
Network and filesystem mutations are tied to explicitly invoked operational CLIs.
