CLI tool for Bohrium scientific computing platform
AI Security Review
scanned 1mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiSource shows a first-party Bohrium CLI wrapper: same-version optional platform packages plus a postinstall that installs vendor companion tools under ~/.bohr/tools with hash checks. There is no self-dependency chain, secret harvesting, foreign agent-config write, or other concrete attack behavior, so the static malware labels are noisy.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review; source fingerprint signature matched known malicious package; routed for review; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
npm install runs postinstall.js; later, the bohr command runs run.js.
Impact
No confirmed malicious impact
Mechanism
No confirmed attack mechanism
AI rationale
Source shows a first-party Bohrium CLI wrapper: same-version optional platform packages plus a postinstall that installs vendor companion tools under ~/.bohr/tools with hash checks. There is no self-dependency chain, secret harvesting, foreign agent-config write, or other concrete attack behavior, so the static malware labels are noisy.
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 86.0% confidence as Benign with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- An automatic postinstall script downloads companion binaries over the network and writes them under the user home directory.
- The wenyon installer downloads whatever URL the remote release JSON returns, without a host allowlist.
- The bohr launcher runs a native binary resolved from an optional platform package.
Evidence against
- The package is a scoped first-party CLI whose optionalDependencies are same-version platform subpackages, not a nested self-install of another release.
- Downloads target vendor dp.tech hosts, land only in ~/.bohr/tools, and are checked against SHA-256 hashes before being marked executable.
- run.js does not invoke npm; the install command is only an error hint. execFileSync is used to run the local platform binary or a local version check.
- Scanner malware-similarity labels match a generic postinstall-downloader shape, not credential theft, agent-config writes, obfuscation, or consumer-project mutation.
