AI Security Review
scanned 1mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package has no install lifecycle hook and its network authentication is explicitly configured by the caller for the selected endpoint. No concrete malicious behavior was found in the active entrypoint.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
A user runs the package command with an endpoint and token configured.
Impact
No unconsented installation action, persistence, or credential transfer to a package-selected destination was found.
Mechanism
It polls the caller-configured service and posts monitoring results using the supplied authentication value.
AI rationale
The package has no install lifecycle hook and its network authentication is explicitly configured by the caller for the selected endpoint. No concrete malicious behavior was found in the active entrypoint.
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 91.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The manifest exposes the bundled agent as the main and command entrypoint and defines no lifecycle scripts.
- The agent reads its endpoint and authentication token from caller-provided environment variables, then sends monitoring results to that configured endpoint.
- Fetched test scripts execute in a restricted VM context with a timeout and without timers.
