AI Security Review

scanned 4d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The inspected install hook does not show an unconsented shell configuration change, but required executable behavior in dist/lib/plugins/plugins.js remains unresolved. Manual review is appropriate because that artifact could not be inspected as source.

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

Unresolved; the plugin artifact could not be inspected as readable source.

Impact

No confirmed impact; the unreadable executable artifact prevents resolving the package behavior fully.

Mechanism

The readable install hook exits early for local installs and prompts before editing a shell startup file in its interactive path.

AI rationale

Evidence

dist/lib/plugins/plugins.jsscripts/postinstall.js

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Manual Review at 78.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.

AI review observations

The package declares a postinstall hook that runs scripts/postinstall.js.
The hook exits early for local installs; the inspected shell startup file edit is offered only in an interactive terminal and requires acceptance.
The required dist/lib/plugins/plugins.js artifact is reported as non-UTF-8 and could not be inspected as source, leaving its executable behavior unresolved.

Evidence against

The inspected postinstall path does not establish an unconsented shell configuration change.
