AI Security Review
scanned 8d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe inspected source confirms postinstall daemon registration and execution of a platform-specific binary, but the binary's behavior remains unresolved. Review the selected platform package before determining whether this package is malicious.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Installing the package through its postinstall hook, or invoking its CLI launcher.
Impact
The daemon may run at user login, but its behavior and effects remain unresolved because the platform executable was unavailable for inspection.
Mechanism
The installer links a platform package binary into the package bin directory, registers the daemon with the operating system, and launches the selected binary.
AI rationale
The inspected source confirms postinstall daemon registration and execution of a platform-specific binary, but the binary's behavior remains unresolved. Review the selected platform package before determining whether this package is malicious.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Manual Review at 91.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.
AI review observations
- package.json runs install.cjs during postinstall and declares optional platform aliases to release variants of the same package.
- install.cjs resolves a platform package binary, registers the package daemon, and launches that binary; its Linux user-service setup enables and restarts the daemon.
- The launcher uses the platform binary, but that executable's behavior is not available in the inspected snapshot.
Evidence against
- The installer limits daemon registration to this package's own daemon and skips registration when CI is set; no network transfer or unrelated file mutation was confirmed in the inspected source.
