Pugi CLI - terminal-native software execution system

AI Security Review

scanned 5d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

No confirmed malicious attack surface in the inspected wrapper package. Install-time behavior is limited to replacing its own bin/pugi shim with a platform-specific optional dependency binary.

Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
npm install runs postinstall; users later invoke pugi CLI
Impact
Creates or replaces bin/pugi inside @pugi/cli; no evidence of exfiltration, persistence, or foreign control-surface mutation
Mechanism
platform binary shim installation
Rationale
The lifecycle script is package-aligned native-binary setup, scoped to the package install directory, with no network, secrets access, shell execution, or AI-agent control-surface mutation in the inspected source. Scanner suspicion is explained by the presence of a postinstall hook rather than concrete malicious behavior.
Evidence
package.jsonpostinstall.mjsbin/pugiREADME.md

Decision evidence

public snapshot
AI called this Clean at 90.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for block
  • package.json defines postinstall lifecycle script
  • postinstall.mjs unlinks and links/copies a platform binary into bin/pugi during install
Evidence against
  • postinstall.mjs only resolves @pugi/cli-${platform}-${arch} optionalDependency and writes within this package directory
  • No fetch/http/client networking, credential/env harvesting, shell execution, eval/vm/Function, or agent control-surface writes found
  • bin/pugi is an error stub used when postinstall is skipped
  • README documents normal CLI install and user-invoked pugi commands
