AI Security Review
scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe postinstall Git-hook mutation is a real install-time risk, but the inspected source does not establish a complete malicious behavior chain. It should be warned on rather than blocked.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
npm installation runs the postinstall lifecycle hook.
Impact
A consumer project's Git commit behavior can be changed without an explicit setup command.
Mechanism
automatic Git pre-commit hook registration
AI rationale
The postinstall Git-hook mutation is a real install-time risk, but the inspected source does not establish a complete malicious behavior chain. It should be warned on rather than blocked.
Evidence
package.json.git/hooks/pre-commit
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 82.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The automatic postinstall command invokes simple-git-hooks.
- The manifest configures a pre-commit command, so installation can alter the enclosing Git checkout's hook behavior.
Evidence against
- No runtime self-dependency or nested lifecycle chain is declared.
- The inspected browser bundle handles local ZIP/log data and user-initiated URL loading; no credential harvesting or covert exfiltration was found.
- The reported Unicode issue was not confirmed by a direct bidi/invisible-control search in the flagged bundle.
