AI Security Review
scanned 3mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe flagged primitives are package-aligned: postinstall checks optional better-sqlite3 locally, while the installer and AGENTS.md behavior require explicit user-invoked commands. Static inspection found no concrete malicious chain.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
npm postinstall for the local verifier; explicit mcode or renderer invocation for other capabilities.
Impact
No unconsented persistence, exfiltration, or foreign AI-agent control-surface mutation confirmed.
Mechanism
local native-dependency verification and user-invoked CLI tooling
AI rationale
The flagged primitives are package-aligned: postinstall checks optional better-sqlite3 locally, while the installer and AGENTS.md behavior require explicit user-invoked commands. Static inspection found no concrete malicious chain.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 93.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- A postinstall hook runs a bundled native-dependency verifier.
- An auxiliary PDF renderer can install Playwright Chromium only when that renderer is explicitly run.
- The CLI exposes an explicit init command that generates AGENTS.md.
Evidence against
- Postinstall source performs a local better-sqlite3 compatibility/smoke check; no network or foreign agent-config mutation is present.
- The Playwright installer is confined to a user-invoked asset script, not an npm lifecycle hook.
- No credential harvesting, covert exfiltration, destructive action, or remote payload chain was confirmed.
