@decocms/blocks-cli@7.8.0

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

AI Security Review

scanned 4mo ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

Source inspection shows no malicious lifecycle hook or hidden payload; risky primitives are explicit CLI migration/KV operations aligned with the package purpose. Because deco-migrate writes an always-applied Cursor rule, treat as a warning-level agent configuration mutation rather than publish-block malware.

Static reason

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

Trigger

User runs deco-migrate against a site project.

Impact

Can influence future Cursor agent sessions in the migrated project, but content points to first-party migration policy and no exfiltration/destructive chain was found.

Mechanism

migration scaffolds project files and an always-applied Cursor policy pointer

Decision evidence

public snapshot

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

Evidence for warning

scripts/migrate/phase-scaffold.ts writes .cursor/rules/migration-tooling-policy.mdc during user-run deco-migrate.
scripts/migrate/templates/cursor-rules.ts marks the generated Cursor rule alwaysApply: true and includes process instructions.
scripts/migrate.ts bootstrap runs bun install and generators after explicit deco-migrate, not install lifecycle.

Evidence against

package.json has no preinstall/install/postinstall lifecycle scripts.
scripts/sync-blocks-to-kv.ts and scripts/migrate-blocks-to-kv.ts are explicit CLIs; KV writes require --write and Cloudflare env config.
scripts/lib/cf-kv-rest.ts network is package-aligned Cloudflare KV API, using caller-provided credentials.
scripts/generate-blocks.ts only reads .deco/blocks JSON and writes generated .deco/blocks.gen.{json,ts}.
No credential harvesting, hidden exfiltration, obfuscated payload, or import-time execution found.
