AI Security Review

scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The prepare-only Git configuration mutation is an unwanted lifecycle-side effect and warrants a warning. The inspected source does not establish a malicious payload or the scanner's claimed credential-redirection chain.

Static reason

No blocking static signals were detected.

Trigger

An npm lifecycle context that runs prepare.

Impact

It can alter Git hook resolution for the current repository until changed back.

Mechanism

Sets Git core.hooksPath to .githooks.

AI rationale

Evidence

package.jsondist/index.jsdist/cli.js.git/config

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 88.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.

Evidence for warning

The prepare lifecycle changes the current Git repository hook path to .githooks without a user command.
The package includes a full agent CLI with filesystem and shell capabilities when the user runs it.

Evidence against

There are no preinstall, install, or postinstall scripts.
No .githooks payload is included in the published file list.
The observed network and credential flows are tied to explicit CLI features or configured providers.
No source evidence shows credential redirection, foreign package overwrites, or a hidden payload.
