Minimax Code — terminal coding agent
AI Security Review
scanned 3mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiStatic inspection found a package-aligned native-module verifier and an explicitly invoked rendering utility, not a concrete malicious chain. The lifecycle hook does not mutate foreign agent configuration or perform network/exfiltration behavior.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
npm postinstall for the local verifier; explicit invocation of the bundled PDF renderer.
Impact
No unconsented persistence, credential exfiltration, destructive action, or broad AI-agent control-surface mutation was established.
Mechanism
native SQLite smoke test and user-invoked Playwright PDF rendering

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 90.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- Postinstall runs a local native SQLite compatibility check.
- Bundled PDF helper can install Playwright Chromium only when explicitly run and launch fails.
Evidence against
- No install hook writes agent configuration, harvests credentials, or contacts a network endpoint.
- The postinstall verifier loads better-sqlite3 and performs an in-memory SQLite smoke test.
- PDF rendering accepts a user-supplied file/URL and output path; its network-capable behavior is not import- or install-triggered.
- CLI is documented as an interactive coding agent; filesystem and command capabilities are user-invoked.
