Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
L4: 
L5: import { execFileSync } from "node:child_process";
L6: import { existsSync, mkdirSync, rmSync, writeFileSync } from "node:fs";
...
L11: 
L12: export function servicePaths(home = homedir()) {
L13: return {
...
L94: const fullEnv = {
L95: PATH: process.env.PATH || "/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin",
L96: HOME: homedir(),
...
L103: try {
L104: execFileSync("launchctl", ["unload", paths.launchdPlist], { stdio: "ignore" });
L105: } catch {
```

### 7. Low: Filesystem
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 70.0%

Package source references filesystem APIs.

### 8. Critical: Ai Agent Control Hijack
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 90.0%
- **Path:** src/daemon.mjs
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@gleapai/kai-bridge@0.2.2/src/daemon.mjs>)

Source creates an unconsented AI-agent control surface through install-time mutation or a default unauthenticated remote skill channel.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
Install-time code directly mutates a foreign AI-agent control surface:
L13: import { spawn } from "node:child_process";
L14: import { appendFileSync, existsSync, mkdirSync, readFileSync, rmSync, writeFileSync } from "node:fs";
L15: import { join, resolve as resolvePath } from "node:path";
...
L38: export function createLogger(kaiHome = KAI_HOME) {
L39: mkdirSync(join(kaiHome, "logs"), { recursive: true });
L40: const file = join(kaiHome, "logs", "bridge.log");
...
L43: try {
L44: appendFileSync(file, line + "\n");
L45: } catch {
...
L231: acquireLock() {
L232: mkdirSync(this.kaiHome, { recursive: true });
L233: // Same-process guard: the pid check below can't see a second daemon
Write operation from src/config.mjs:
L13: 
L14: import { chmodSync, existsSync, mkdirSync, readFileSync, writeFi
```

### 9. High: Trigger Reachable Persistence
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 94.0%
- **Path:** src/service.mjs
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@gleapai/kai-bridge@0.2.2/src/service.mjs>)

A manifest entrypoint or package-local install chain reaches persistence behavior.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
Trigger-reachable persistence chain: manifest.bin -> bin/kai-bridge.mjs -> src/service.mjs
L4: 
L5: import { execFileSync } from "node:child_process";
L6: import { existsSync, mkdirSync, rmSync, writeFileSync } from "node:fs";
...
L11: 
L12: export function servicePaths(home = homedir()) {
L13: return {
...
L94: const fullEnv = {
L95: PATH: process.env.PATH || "/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin",
L96: HOME: homedir(),
...
L103: try {
L104: execFileSync("launchctl", ["unload", paths.launchdPlist], { stdio: "ignore" });
L105: } catch {
```

### 10. Low: High Entropy Strings
- **Category:** Supply Chain
- **Confidence:** 55.0%

Package source contains high-entropy string patterns.

### 11. Low: Url Strings
- **Category:** Supply Chain
- **Confidence:** 65.0%

Package source contains URL literals.

### 12. Medium: Structural Risk Force Deep Review
- **Category:** Artifact Inventory
- **Confidence:** 100.0%

Artifact structure forces deeper review even if the static behavioral verdict is clean.

### 13. High: Semantic Analysis Limited
- **Category:** Scanner Coverage
- **Confidence:** 100.0%
- **Path:** runner/acp-runner.mjs\#virtual:normalized:round1
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@gleapai/kai-bridge@0.2.2/runner/acp-runner.mjs%23virtual%3Anormalized%3Around1>)

A bounded semantic-analysis stage reached its safety limit; remaining detectors completed, but this package requires AI review.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```text
stage = ast_semantic_analysis; reason = ast_parse_error; limitedFiles = 2
```

### 14. High: Known Malware Source Similarity
- **Category:** Static
- **Confidence:** 97.0%
- **Path:** src/harnesses.mjs
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@gleapai/kai-bridge@0.2.2/src/harnesses.mjs>)

Source file is highly similar to a previously finalized malicious package; route for source-aware review.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
matchType = normalized_sha256
matchedPackage = @gleapai/kai-bridge@0.6.0
matchedPath = src/harnesses.mjs
matchedIdentity = npm:QGdsZWFwYWkva2FpLWJyaWRnZQ:0.6.0
similarity = 1.000
summary = normalized source hash matched finalized malicious source
```

### 15. High: Known Malware Source Similarity
- **Category:** Static
