AI Security Review
scanned 7d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package manifest shows no install lifecycle hook, and the concerning persistent browser setup requires an explicit command. Because the imported extension installer was not inspected, its effects cannot be verified; manual review is warranted.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
A user runs the CLI's `extension install` subcommand.
Impact
The exact extension contents and settings written to discovered browsers remain unknown; no concrete attack was established.
Mechanism
The CLI discovers browsers and passes them to `installExtension` from @hmharness/extension, whose implementation was unavailable for this review.
AI rationale
The package manifest shows no install lifecycle hook, and the concerning persistent browser setup requires an explicit command. Because the imported extension installer was not inspected, its effects cannot be verified; manual review is warranted.
Evidence
package.jsondist/main.js
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Manual Review at 78.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.
AI review observations
- The manifest declares only a build script and lists @hmharness/extension as a runtime dependency; its implementation was not part of the inspected source.
- When the CLI receives the `extension install` subcommand, it calls that dependency to persistently install an extension into discovered browsers. The extension payload and browser-setting changes remain unresolved.
Evidence against
- The inspected manifest has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook.
- The persistent browser installation is reached through an explicit `extension install` subcommand.
