AI Security Review

scanned 4d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The inspected source did not confirm the scanner’s attack claims, but the required clean coverage spans more files than the citation limit permits. Manual review is needed to resolve the broader runtime behavior.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source

Trigger

The CLI entry is invoked; worker activity depends on runtime callers that were not fully traced.

Impact

The available excerpts do not establish credential disclosure or provider configuration abuse.

Mechanism

The inspected worker excerpt queues error reports, but does not show their recipient; the registry excerpt describes importing provider configuration and projecting P4 registry entries into sessions.

AI rationale

Evidence

dist/claudeHistoryWorker-BvaF6m2o.mjsdist/runtime-BuR0otfT.mjs

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Manual Review at 63.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.

AI review observations

package.json defines a CLI entry and dependencies, with no lifecycle hooks in the inspected manifest.
The CLI entry dispatches explicit bridge commands or loads the regular CLI.
The worker has telemetry controls and queues error reports; this excerpt does not identify the report recipient.
The P4 MCP registry description says provider configuration files are read for import and projected into P4-started sessions.
The required runtime locations in the settings assets contain UI code, but do not resolve the broader runtime behavior.

Evidence against

The inspected manifest has no install-time lifecycle script.
The inspected excerpts do not establish credential theft, reverse-shell behavior, or unconsented writes to provider configuration files.
