CLI tool for Bohrium scientific computing platform

AI Security Review

scanned 13d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The package has an automatic postinstall path that downloads executable companion tools, including one whose hash verification is conditional, so a staged payload warning is appropriate. The inspected source ties this setup to the CLI's companion tools and does not establish a concrete attack.

Static reason

One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source

Trigger

Installing the package with npm, which invokes its postinstall hook.

Impact

A compromised or altered release source could supply executable code that is installed for later use; the evidence does not establish that this package itself is malicious.

Mechanism

The hook retrieves release metadata and downloads platform binaries into the user's home directory; the launcher later executes its platform-specific binary dependency.

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 86.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.

Evidence for warning

The package runs postinstall.js automatically during installation.
The postinstall hook downloads platform binaries and installs them under the user's .bohr tools directory; one download's SHA-256 check is optional.
The launcher executes the matching platform binary from an optional package dependency.

Evidence against

The manifest describes a Bohrium scientific-computing CLI and exposes the matching bohr launcher.
The installer uses DP Technology service endpoints and installs named companion CLI tools.
