AI Security Review
scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiAutomatic postinstall Git-hook setup is an unconsented consumer-project mutation, so this release should be warned on. The inspected source does not establish concrete malicious behavior.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
npm installation runs the postinstall script.
Impact
A consumer repository can receive a pre-commit lint command without an explicit setup command.
Mechanism
Automatic Git pre-commit hook installation.
AI rationale
Automatic postinstall Git-hook setup is an unconsented consumer-project mutation, so this release should be warned on. The inspected source does not establish concrete malicious behavior.
Evidence
package.json.git/hooks/pre-commit
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 78.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The package runs simple-git-hooks automatically after npm installation, configuring a pre-commit command in the consumer repository.
- A hidden U+FEFF character is present in bundled download-helper code.
- The main browser bundle fetches a version-pinned WASM asset from an external package mirror at runtime.
Evidence against
- No credential harvesting, shell execution, self-dependency, or secret exfiltration was found in the inspected package source.
- The hidden character is a byte-order mark used when constructing a downloadable Blob, not a directional override.
- The inspected external fetch loads a package-aligned WASM asset and the log download uses omitted credentials.
