AI Security Review

scanned 12d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The inspected source shows no npm lifecycle hook or concrete malicious behavior. Agent-related writes are tied to explicit commands, and the skill installer respects existing files unless forced.

Static reason

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

Trigger

Explicitly invoking the setup wizard or the install-skills command.

Impact

These commands can modify agent configuration or install skills when run, but the inspected source does not establish an unconsented install-time mutation or a concrete attack.

Mechanism

Setup fetches a server configuration and merges its named entry into a supported client config; install-skills copies bundled skill files, with existing files skipped unless --force is specified.

AI rationale

The inspected source shows no npm lifecycle hook or concrete malicious behavior. Agent-related writes are tied to explicit commands, and the skill installer respects existing files unless forced.

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Clean at 78.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for AI clean decision

package.json identifies the package and exposes separate server, setup, and skill-install commands; it has no install lifecycle hook.
The flagged config.js location is explanatory text about config precedence; it does not itself change agent configuration.
install-skills copies bundled skills to a user-selected destination and skips existing skills unless --force is given; it is a separate command.
setup.js selects client config paths, fetches config, and writes the named server entry when its setup path runs.
setup.js only runs the setup wizard when invoked with --setup or -s.
server.js imports normal MCP server and WordPress client components; no attack behavior is established by the inspected entry excerpt.
