AI Security Review

scanned 5d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

Source inspection found no npm install hook or concrete attack behavior. The scanner’s similarity labels are routing hints; the inspected code supports a clean verdict.

Static reason

No blocking static signals were detected.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review; source fingerprint signature matched known malicious package; routed for review

Trigger

The CLI or service runs when invoked; registry service installation uses a separate npm script.

Impact

No malicious effect was established from these behaviors.

Mechanism

The inspected code resolves project and skill configuration, sends requests to the configured registry, and binds the journal service to loopback.

AI rationale

Source inspection found no npm install hook or concrete attack behavior. The scanner’s similarity labels are routing hints; the inspected code supports a clean verdict.

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Clean at 94.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for AI clean decision

package.json defines a prepublishOnly validation and build script, with no install-time hook.
The flagged bundle locations define project skill search roots and fields owned by the project registry.
Registry service setup is exposed as a separate npm script that creates and enables a user service.
The flagged asset is a Python test suite that invokes the project hook script with test arguments.
The prompt entrypoint reads a Hermes template configuration path from an environment setting or the user config directory.
The registry client resolves a configured registry location and uses it for registry requests.
The journal service listens on the loopback interface.
One optional integration defaults off unless a project is eligible or explicitly enabled.
