AI Security Review

scanned 14d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The package has no install-time hook or evidenced consumer-side attack behavior. Its `postpack` cleanup can recursively remove package-directory contents, which is a concrete destructive local risk and warrants a warning.

Static reason

No blocking static signals were detected.

Trigger

Running the package's `postpack` lifecycle script after a pack operation.

Impact

Other package-directory contents may be deleted from the working checkout.

Mechanism

The script removes every entry in its package directory except `package.json` and `stage-pack.mjs`.

AI rationale

Evidence

package.json

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 81.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.

Evidence for warning

`package.json` defines a `postpack` script that recursively removes every package-directory entry except `package.json` and `stage-pack.mjs`.
`.githooks/_deft-run.sh` invokes the local or global `deft` command with the supplied arguments; the inspected resolver shows no file mutation or network behavior.
`tasks/engine-invoke.test.cjs` tests that command arguments containing shell metacharacters remain quoted as a single token.

Evidence against

The manifest has no `preinstall`, `install`, or `postinstall` hook; its lifecycle scripts are limited to `prepack` and `postpack`.
The test file is test code and its inspected assertions concern command argument quoting, not package lifecycle behavior.
