AI Security Review

scanned 10d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

Source inspection found default-on, package-aligned install analytics that can be disabled, plus an explicit CLI command that adds only this package’s MCP entry. The scanner’s control-surface finding is not supported by the inspected install path, and no malicious behavior was identified.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source

Trigger

npm postinstall after package installation.

Impact

The publisher receives host and username-derived metadata for analytics. The inspected source showed no unrelated recipient or unconsented broad agent configuration mutation.

Mechanism

The hook submits an install event with a machine fingerprint and install metadata to the package’s Convex endpoint; an environment variable disables telemetry.

AI rationale

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Clean at 86.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for AI clean decision

The npm postinstall hook runs a welcome and install-event script, and the hook suppresses errors.
The install event sends a hostname-and-username fingerprint to the package’s Convex analytics endpoint; telemetry can be disabled with APICLAW_TELEMETRY=false.
The MCP installer adds only the package’s own server entry when the explicit mcp-install command is run; the Codex config path is identified in the source.
The doctor command checks client configuration, while first-run and pending-login code support the package’s sign-in flow.
The direct CLI builds gateway requests from the caller’s API and options; the ACP test uses a temporary home directory.
