AI Security Review

scanned 2h ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The inspected excerpts do not substantiate the scanner’s malicious verdict, and several indicators have plausible product-aligned explanations. The large CLI bundle and agent integration paths were not fully traced, so the remaining uncertainty warrants manual review.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source

Trigger

Unresolved; the inspected manifest shows no npm install-time hook.

Impact

Unknown from the incomplete source review.

Mechanism

The available source excerpts show intended-service Todoist authentication and local hook output capture; they do not resolve every flagged runtime path.

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Manual Review at 55.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.

AI review observations

package.json exposes CLI and daemon entrypoints and has a prepublishOnly build command, but no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook.
The inspected Todoist setup reads a Todoist token and uses the Todoist API; the inspected provider configuration lists Kimi as a configured provider.
The generated rule source defines a blocking base64-to-shell detection rule, which is consistent with defensive detection rather than proof of a reverse shell.

Evidence against

The CLI bundle is large, and the credential-redirect finding was not fully resolved across all login and recovery callers.
Agent configuration targets and the remaining flagged runtime locations were not traced through all callers and activation paths.
