AI Security Review

scanned 12d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

Source inspection found guarded, user-invoked installation of package-owned agent skills and explicit setup configuration writes. This meets the warning boundary for first-party agent extension setup, but no blocking attack behavior was established.

Static reason

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

Trigger

The user runs the install-skills command or an explicit setup command.

Impact

The installed skills become available to Claude Code sessions; setup can add the Respira server configuration to the selected client.

Mechanism

The skills command copies bundled files; setup fetches configuration and writes it to a selected client path.

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 82.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.

Evidence for warning

The package exposes a separate install-skills command; it is not an install lifecycle hook.
The skills command copies bundled skill files into the user’s Claude skills directory, with overwrite controlled by --force.
The setup command targets selected AI client configuration paths and fetches configuration only when installClientConfig is called.
The server’s process inspection is limited to identifying sibling Respira server processes.

Evidence against

No package install lifecycle script is present; setup and skill installation require command-line invocation.
No source evidence establishes credential theft, stealth, destructive behavior, or unconsented agent configuration mutation.
