@devflow-tools/knowledge-engine@0.18.6
Version-aware project knowledge ingestion and retrieval for DevFlow.
AI Security Review
scanned 26d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe flagged lifecycle hook performs Playwright Chromium setup. The inspected network code implements documentation retrieval using supplied sources, with no concrete attack behavior established.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
Installation invokes the declared postinstall hook; documentation network access occurs when fetch operations are called.
Impact
The inspected behavior supports browser setup and documentation ingestion; no malicious package behavior was established.
Mechanism
The postinstall command runs Playwright's browser installer. The GitHub fetcher clones a supplied repository and sparse-checks out supplied paths; Context7 fetching is limited to configured plugin topics.
AI rationale
The flagged lifecycle hook performs Playwright Chromium setup. The inspected network code implements documentation retrieval using supplied sources, with no concrete attack behavior established.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 95.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The postinstall hook installs Chromium through Playwright; it does not mutate consumer approval settings.
- GitHub fetching is an exported, caller-invoked documentation feature that uses the supplied repository and documentation paths.
- Context7 fetching is a feature-specific function that returns without fetching when the plugin has no configured topic list.
- The package entrypoint exports knowledge-engine and documentation-fetching functionality.
