Version-aware project knowledge ingestion and retrieval for DevFlow.
AI Security Review
scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe install hook is an unnecessary but transparent Playwright browser setup action tied to a declared dependency. Source inspection found no concrete malicious behavior.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Installation runs Playwright's Chromium installer; callers must invoke knowledge-fetching APIs for network retrieval.
Impact
No unconsented data collection, destructive action, persistence, or control-surface modification was found.
Mechanism
Declared browser setup and caller-invoked documentation retrieval.
AI rationale
The install hook is an unnecessary but transparent Playwright browser setup action tied to a declared dependency. Source inspection found no concrete malicious behavior.
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 91.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The package has an automatic postinstall hook that invokes the Playwright Chromium installer.
Evidence against
- The hook only installs a declared Playwright browser dependency and shows no project, credential, or agent-configuration mutation.
- Network and Git operations are exported or called by explicit knowledge-sync methods, not on module import.
- No secret harvesting, exfiltration, eval, shell interpolation, self-dependency, or persistence behavior was found.
