AI Security Review

scanned 12d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The inspected agent configuration and skill writes require explicit commands and install package-aligned content. The manifest exposes no install lifecycle hook, and the reviewed source established no concrete attack behavior.

Static reason

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

Trigger

A user invokes the setup or skills-install command.

Impact

These operations can add package-owned configuration or skills after user invocation; no confirmed malicious effect was established.

Mechanism

Setup fetches a client-specific configuration using a supplied install token; the skills utility copies bundled files to a selected destination and skips existing files unless overwrite is requested.

AI rationale

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 exposes the server, setup utility, and skills installer as executable entry points; its listed scripts contain no install lifecycle hook.
The flagged config.js location discusses which configuration source takes precedence; the implementation reports the active source and resolved sites.
The skills installer accepts a caller-selected destination and skips existing skill files unless overwrite is requested; it copies bundled skill files when explicitly run.
Agent configuration installation requires the explicit --install-config command with a supported client and install token.
The server source includes WordPress content lookup behavior consistent with the package’s stated purpose.
