AI Security Review

scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

This is not malicious install-hook behavior, but it includes a broad AI-agent configuration capability. Warn rather than block because activation is runtime/user-driven and no concrete exfiltration or stealth persistence was established.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review

Trigger

A caller invokes the package's global MCP setup routine.

Impact

Can alter how supported AI clients discover and launch this package's MCP server.

Mechanism

Writes MCP configuration entries for supported AI clients.

AI rationale

Evidence

dist/index.mjs.claude.json.cursor/mcp.json.codex/config.toml

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 82.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.

Evidence for warning

The package exposes command-line entry points.
Its runtime code defines global MCP configuration paths for Claude, Cursor, and Codex.
A global setup routine writes MCP entries for every supported global editor without an availability check.

Evidence against

package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook.
There is no runtime dependency on this package name.
The evaluated-code finding is defensive code that blocks eval and Function in a sandbox.
No credential exfiltration endpoint was confirmed from the inspected source.
