AI Security Review
scanned 24d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiInspected source supports ordinary CLI launch behavior and expected registry authentication handling, while the flagged terminal evaluation appears tied to terminfo formatting. Required review coverage remains unresolved for a non-UTF-8 Java archive, so the evidence does not support a clean verdict or a confirmed attack.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
The CLI entrypoints activate when a user invokes the installed command; no package lifecycle hook was identified in the supplied manifest excerpt.
Impact
No confirmed attack impact was established. The unevaluated archive leaves residual uncertainty.
Mechanism
The launcher starts the bundled CLI. The registry library handles configured registry authentication, and the terminal library compiles terminfo formatting code; neither inspected excerpt demonstrates an attack chain.
AI rationale
Inspected source supports ordinary CLI launch behavior and expected registry authentication handling, while the flagged terminal evaluation appears tied to terminfo formatting. Required review coverage remains unresolved for a non-UTF-8 Java archive, so the evidence does not support a clean verdict or a confirmed attack.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Manual Review at 75.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.
AI review observations
- The package exposes command-line entrypoints that launch its bundled CLI when invoked.
- The registry library reads configured registry authentication values for npm operations; inspected excerpts do not establish an unrelated credential destination.
- The flagged terminal library compiles generated terminfo formatting code, a capability consistent with terminal handling.
- A shipped Java archive is non-UTF-8 and cannot be evaluated through the available source citation path, leaving required review coverage incomplete.
Evidence against
- The inspected launcher delegates to the package's own CLI and forwards command-line arguments and environment.
- The manifest identifies the package as a Socket CLI variant and declares the CLI bundle as its entrypoint.
- No inspected source excerpt establishes credential theft, malicious install behavior, or another concrete attack.
