AI Security Review
scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe automatic Git-hook setup is an install-time project mutation that warrants a warning. Source inspection found no concrete malware behavior or broader attack chain.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
npm installation
Impact
A consumer commit may run pnpm exec lint-staged without an explicit setup command.
Mechanism
postinstall Git hook setup
AI rationale
The automatic Git-hook setup is an install-time project mutation that warrants a warning. Source inspection found no concrete malware behavior or broader attack chain.
Evidence
package.json.git/hooks/pre-commit
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 78.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The automatic postinstall script invokes simple-git-hooks.
- The hook configuration runs pnpm exec lint-staged before commits.
Evidence against
- No self-dependency or secondary lifecycle chain is declared.
- Inspected browser bundles show a snapshot inspection interface and no package-authored credential harvesting or shell execution.
- The reported invisible characters occur in bundled JSON5 parser logic, not hidden executable control flow.
