AI Security Review
scanned 3mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe postinstall behavior is concrete install-hook abuse, but no evidence establishes malware, exfiltration, or foreign AI-agent control-surface mutation. Warn rather than block.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
npm postinstall; explicit bohr CLI commands at runtime
Impact
Can hijack an existing global bohr executable until repaired.
Mechanism
install-hook global command overwrite and launcher replacement
AI rationale
The postinstall behavior is concrete install-hook abuse, but no evidence establishes malware, exfiltration, or foreign AI-agent control-surface mutation. Warn rather than block.
Evidence
package.jsoninstall.jsrun.jsbin/bohr-linux-amd64
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 94.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- package.json runs postinstall
- install.js invokes npm bin -g
- install.js deletes an existing global bohr link
- install.js replaces it with a run.js symlink
- Binary includes user-invoked Codex skill commands
Evidence against
- Postinstall makes its packaged platform binary executable only
- run.js executes a bundled binary with user arguments
- No install-time network, credential harvesting, or AI-agent config write in JS
