VS Code client primitives for the hydranium data-server protocol head; companion of @hydranium/data-server. The extension host relays the data-server's socket to a webview over a vscode-messenger hop, and the webview's data port reads it, so DataConnectio

AI Security Review

scanned 9h ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The inspected runtime behavior fits a VS Code data-client, but the manifest contains review-directed reassurance about lifecycle safety that appears intended to influence the verdict. I treated that reviewer manipulation as malicious intent.

Static reason

No blocking static signals were detected.

Trigger

Security review of package.json.

Impact

May bias a reviewer toward dismissing potential concerns without independently checking the source.

Mechanism

Manifest commentary makes strong reassuring claims about lifecycle behavior and publishing safety.

Attack narrative

The manifest includes unusually emphatic assurances that its prepack hook cannot affect installation and that publication is safe. This appears intended to steer review; the inspected runtime code otherwise implements the documented local socket and webview relay.

AI rationale

Evidence

package.json

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Malicious at 84.0% confidence as Malware with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for block

The manifest contains unusually persuasive commentary asserting the prepack hook “cannot break the install” and describing the package as safe to publish, which appears aimed at steering security review.

Evidence against

The declared scripts are build, cleanup, lint, tests, watch, and a prepack guard; no install lifecycle hook is declared.
The inspected socket code connects to 127.0.0.1 by default, and the messenger code relays notifications between the extension host and its webview.

Behavioral surface

SourceNo risky source behavior triggered.

Supply chainNo supply-chain packaging signals triggered.

ManifestNo manifest risk signals triggered.

99"//prepack": "The publish guard, a `prepack` rather than a `prepare`: `prepack` runs only when a tarball is made (`npm pack`, `npm publish`) and never on install, so it cannot break the install it has no business touching. What it defends against: `files` lists `lib`, `lib` is gitignored, and a `files` entry matching nothing is skipped SILENTLY — so `npm publish` from an unbuilt tree emits a tarball of `src` and nothing else, with no error.",
