AI Security Review

scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The package is not malicious by the install-hook boundary because its configuration changes require an explicit CLI command. Its broad AI-agent configuration capability warrants a warning.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source

Trigger

The user runs the CLI init command without disabling MCP or skills setup.

Impact

It can add the package's MCP server and skills to detected agent/editor configuration locations.

Mechanism

Explicit AI-agent configuration and skill installation.

AI rationale

The package is not malicious by the install-hook boundary because its configuration changes require an explicit CLI command. Its broad AI-agent configuration capability warrants a warning.

Evidence

dist/init-CLtTEqbD.mjspackage.json.mcp.json~/.claude.json~/.cursor/mcp.json.agents/skills

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 84.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for warning

The executable CLI includes an explicit init command that can register an MCP server and install user-global skill bundles across supported agent hosts.
The init flow defaults non-interactive MCP scope to both user and project, so an explicit command can change AI-agent configuration surfaces.

Evidence against

package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall lifecycle hook.
No self-dependency or automatic install-time execution was found.
The flagged native loader is generated NAPI-RS platform-loading code; its child-process use only probes libc.
