AI Security Review

scanned 14d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The manifest has no lifecycle hook, and the inspected suspicious-looking helper installation is part of a generated device-helper path rather than package installation. The flagged agent-related asset locations describe application features, and the inspected source did not establish credential exfiltration or malicious control-surface mutation.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review

Trigger

No install-time trigger is declared; the CLI is invoked by the user.

Impact

No concrete malicious effect was established.

Mechanism

The inspected helper code installs a pinned helper only when it is missing. The flagged asset locations describe application file mapping and memory or agent-file tools.

AI rationale

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Clean at 84.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for AI clean decision

package.json defines a CLI entry point and no install lifecycle hook.
The indexed `claude.md` entry is part of a file-type mapping.
The preview asset describes user-scope memory and agent-file operations as application tools.
The executable’s helper installation is in a generated device-helper script and runs only when that helper is not already installed.
The flagged adapter files import the shared PTY adapter; the flagged client chunks import application modules.
