AI Security Review

scanned 12d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The manifest has no automatic install lifecycle hook. The flagged agent configuration behavior is associated with explicit setup or skill-install commands, and the reviewed source does not establish a concrete attack surface.

Static reason

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

Trigger

A user runs the skill installer or invokes setup with --install-config and a selected client and token.

Impact

These actions configure the package for an agent client. The inspected source does not establish unconsented install-time mutation or credential exfiltration.

Mechanism

The skill installer copies bundled skills; setup retrieves token-associated configuration and merges the package's server entry into the selected client config.

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Clean at 86.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for AI clean decision

The manifest exposes server and setup commands and has no automatic install lifecycle hook.
The flagged config.js range is comment text; nearby executable code checks environment credentials and emits a warning when the package config takes precedence.
The install-skills command defaults to a package-related skills directory, accepts an explicit destination, and skips existing files unless forced.
The flagged setup.js range selects client config paths; config installation requires an explicit --install-config command, client, and install token.
Setup validates that downloaded configuration contains the expected server entry before merging it into the selected client configuration.
The server entrypoint imports the MCP server and stdio transport, consistent with the package's declared purpose.
