AI Security Review

scanned 12d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The package has no npm install lifecycle hook, and the inspected configuration and skills writes are associated with explicit package commands. Network activity is directed to package-related documentation and version-check services; no concrete attack behavior was identified.

Static reason

No blocking static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source

Trigger

Running the setup or skill-install command, using the server, or checking for package updates.

Impact

No concrete malicious effect was established from these behaviors.

Mechanism

The setup command selects an agent configuration destination, and the skill installer copies bundled skills; the server performs documentation searches and checks the npm registry for versions.

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Clean at 91.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for AI clean decision

package.json defines build and development scripts but no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook.
dist/config.js describes resolving configuration paths so the server can locate its own configuration.
dist/install-skills.js defaults to the user's Claude skills directory and parses command-line options to choose its destination.
dist/setup.js selects agent configuration paths and obtains configuration through the setup flow.
dist/server.js sends documentation search queries to the package's Respira API base, defaulting to www.respira.press.
dist/version-checker.js checks the package version against registry.npmjs.org.
