AI Security Review
scanned 13d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiSource inspection shows an install-time setup script that scaffolds the package's own configuration and Git commands used to collect repository metadata. The flagged execution and network indicators do not establish malicious behavior.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
Package installation triggers the configuration scaffold; reporter use triggers Git metadata collection.
Impact
No confirmed malicious effect or attack surface was established.
Mechanism
The setup script writes .testrelic/testrelic-config.json when absent and skips CI. The reporter runs fixed Git commands to collect repository metadata.
AI rationale
Source inspection shows an install-time setup script that scaffolds the package's own configuration and Git commands used to collect repository metadata. The flagged execution and network indicators do not establish malicious behavior.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 95.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The postinstall hook is declared in package.json and invokes the package's setup script.
- The setup script creates only the product's own configuration file, skips CI, and leaves an existing file unchanged.
- The flagged command execution reads Git branch, commit, and author metadata for the reporter.
- The CommonJS entrypoint contains the same Git metadata collection behavior.
