AI Security Review

scanned 1mo ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The package is not malicious by static inspection, but it provides explicit commands that can alter project Git and AI-agent control surfaces. The policy calls for a warning for this user-invoked agent configuration capability.

Static reason

No blocking static signals were detected.

Trigger

The user runs task setup or task cloudgov:export, or commits or pushes after hook setup.

Impact

These commands can affect repository checks or add generated agent instructions, but no automatic install-time mutation, credential theft, or payload execution was found.

Mechanism

User-invoked Taskfile configuration and Git-hook CLI dispatch.

Decision evidence

public snapshot

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

Evidence for warning

An explicit cloudgov export task copies package-provided agent instructions and an AGENTS.md file into its output tree.
An explicit setup task changes the current repository's Git hook path to .githooks.
The shipped Git hooks invoke the Deft CLI on commits and pushes after that setup.
The manifest has only pack-time scripts, not install-time lifecycle hooks.

Evidence against

No preinstall, install, or postinstall hook is declared.
No dependencies or self-dependency are declared.
The only downloader found is an explicit Taskfile command for a pinned GitHub archive.
No secret harvesting, exfiltration, obfuscated payload, or automatic remote execution was found.
