AI Security Review

scanned 11d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The source supports a warning for guarded first-party agent skill setup. The manifest has no npm install hook, and the inspected network behavior sends configured notifications rather than credentials, so the scanner's malicious verdict is not supported.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.

Trigger

A user runs the CLI setup flow and accepts the relevant prompts.

Impact

Accepted setup changes which package-provided instructions Claude Code can load; inspected sources do not show an unconsented write or credential exfiltration.

Mechanism

The setup flow writes package templates into the Claude Code skills directory after confirmation.

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 86.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.

Evidence for warning

The manifest has no npm install hook; its only lifecycle script runs at publish time.
Interactive CLI setup can install first-party skills and templates into Claude Code's configuration directory after prompting the user.
The project-context hook sends a notification message to ntfy.sh only when a notification topic is configured.
The indicated agent integration locations contain path helpers or project/configuration handling; these excerpts do not establish credential theft or an unconsented agent-control write.
The cleanup hook loads environment settings from local files; the inspected excerpt shows no network send.

Evidence against

No package install-time execution or unconsented configuration mutation was established from the inspected sources.
The scanner's credential-exfiltration hint is not supported by the inspected notification code, which sends a message rather than environment or credential material.
