AI Security Review

scanned 4d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and the inspected agent configuration changes are reached through the explicit installer command. The network telemetry path is gated by an affirmative setting and sends package and platform metadata, so the scanner hints do not establish malicious behavior.

Static reason

One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source

Trigger

The user invokes the package installer; optional install telemetry additionally requires its environment setting to be enabled.

Impact

The inspected behavior supports the package’s stated installation function; no confirmed credential theft, covert install-time mutation, or destructive attack surface was established.

Mechanism

The installer writes integration files and registers a companion MCP server with the selected host CLI. Telemetry sends package and platform metadata only when enabled.

AI rationale

Network endpoints1

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Clean at 91.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for AI clean decision

The manifest exposes a CLI and module entrypoints but defines no install lifecycle hook.
Agent configuration changes are part of the explicitly invoked installer and target the selected CLI; the MCP server registration is an installer operation.
Install telemetry requires an affirmative environment setting before sending.
The reviewed doctor, graph, transcript, memory, and plugin helper locations resolve to ordinary checks, project data processing, or path selection.

Evidence against

The installer registers a companion MCP server through the host CLI and runs an npx command when the user invokes installation.
When enabled, install telemetry sends package and platform metadata to the package-associated endpoint.

135 `-w` cannot be used to read a secret this store may hold. It prints any value

136 containing a byte outside plain printable ASCII as BARE HEX with no marker,

137 which is indistinguishable from a secret that is itself hex - and 40-character

138 hex API tokens are exactly what lives here. Guessing from the shape would

139 corrupt them. `-g` marks the encoded form with an `0x` prefix, so the decision

140 is read off the output instead of inferred:

141

142 multi-line value -> password: 0x6C696E65310A6C696E6532 "line1\\012line2"

Secret Pattern

144

145 Two shapes, measured rather than assumed:

146 - `0x<HEX>` present -> the hex is authoritative; a quoted trailer may follow

147 or may be absent entirely (an all-non-ASCII value prints hex only).

148 - no `0x` -> the value sits between the first and last double quote. Inner

149 quotes are NOT escaped by `security` (`he"llo` prints as `"he"llo"`), so

150 first-to-last is the correct span and unescaping would be wrong.

151

152 The secret is parsed in-process and returned to the caller. It is never

153 logged, never placed in an exception message, and never passed as an argv

154 element.

177 Trailing newlines are stripped, which is what the `-w` path did before and

178 what every consumer already assumes: a newline on the end of a token is an

179 artifact of pasting it, and it breaks an HTTP header the moment it survives.
