AI Security Review
scanned 1mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe active binary Maven extension prevents a clean verdict because its executable behavior could not be reviewed. The available source does not establish a concrete attack, so this is a non-blocking warning.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
A user runs the CLI's Maven manifest workflow.
Impact
The opaque extension can execute within the user's Maven process, leaving its behavior unresolved.
Mechanism
The CLI supplies the bundled JAR through Maven's extension class-path property.
AI rationale
The active binary Maven extension prevents a clean verdict because its executable behavior could not be reviewed. The available source does not establish a concrete attack, so this is a non-blocking warning.
Evidence
dist/cli.jsdist/manifest-scripts/maven-extension/coana-maven-extension.jar
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 76.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The CLI selects a bundled Maven extension JAR and passes it to Maven as an extension class path.
- The referenced JAR is a binary archive and could not be source-inspected as UTF-8.
- The manifest exposes user-invoked CLI binaries.
Evidence against
- No install lifecycle hook was found in the inspected manifest.
- No confirmed credential collection, data transmission, or destructive action was identified in the inspected launcher paths.
