AI Security Review

scanned 12d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and the inspected agent configuration and skill writes require explicit commands. The observed service request uses the package's Respira service, and the scanner hints did not establish a concrete attack.

Static reason

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

Trigger

A user runs the setup or skill installation command.

Impact

These explicit actions can change the selected client config or skills directory; no unconsented install-time mutation or concrete attack behavior was found.

Mechanism

Setup fetches a config using a supplied install token and merges the package's server entry; the skill command copies bundled files to its destination.

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Clean at 94.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for AI clean decision

package.json exposes setup and install-skills as commands; its manifest has no install lifecycle hook.
dist/install-skills.js copies bundled skill files to a user-selected or default skills directory when that command runs.
dist/setup.js only processes --install-config when explicitly invoked with a client and install token, then merges the fetched server entry into the selected client config.
dist/config.js describes configuration precedence; its cited location is commentary, not executable behavior.
dist/server.js uses the Respira service as its default documentation search host.
