AI Security Review

scanned 11d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The inspected source shows user-invoked plugin installation and updates, with executable surfaces refused unless explicitly allowed. This supports a guarded agent extension capability warning, not a confirmed attack.

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

A user runs the plugin add or update command; executable surfaces require the corresponding allow flag.

Impact

An allowed plugin may add executable behavior to an agent environment; no automatic npm-install activation of this capability was established.

Mechanism

The CLI installs a plugin from a user-selected Git URL or local path and can sync plugin resources into agent versions.

AI rationale

Evidence

dist/commands/plugins.js

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 78.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.

Evidence for warning

The explicit plugin add command accepts a Git URL or local path and installs the selected plugin.
Plugin installation detects executable surfaces and refuses them unless the user supplies an explicit allow flag.
Plugin updates use the same explicit allow flag to permit newly introduced executable surfaces.

Evidence against

The inspected plugin capability is activated by an explicit CLI command; no automatic plugin installation through the npm lifecycle was found in the inspected paths.
The postinstall shim-only path is gated by an environment variable.
