AI Security Review
scanned 25d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe manifest has no npm install lifecycle hook, and the reviewed configuration and capture behavior is package-aligned and user-invoked. The scanner’s persistence and weak-crypto signals correspond to a manually activated integration watcher and a local directory-derived cache key.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
A user runs the setup or install CLI; Antigravity watcher activation requires a separate launch-agent load.
Impact
The inspected behavior enables the package’s stated integration; no unrelated credential recipient, unconsented install-time mutation, or confirmed attack surface was established.
Mechanism
Setup writes agent configuration, hooks, and skills for Cortex. Capture posts derived session data to the Cortex ingest endpoint, with a transcript fallback when local extraction is unavailable.
AI rationale
The manifest has no npm install lifecycle hook, and the reviewed configuration and capture behavior is package-aligned and user-invoked. The scanner’s persistence and weak-crypto signals correspond to a manually activated integration watcher and a local directory-derived cache key.
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 94.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The manifest exposes a CLI and has no install lifecycle hook; its listed scripts are release, promotion, and rollback tasks.
- The CLI reaches setup through a user-supplied command, which writes configuration for the package’s own Cortex integration.
- The editor adapters configure Cortex hooks or skills; Codex and Cursor capability declarations describe capture hooks, not prompt-time context injection.
- Antigravity writes a watcher script and launch agent file, but tells the user to load the agent manually and reports that the sync is not fully wired.
- Capture sends session-derived data to the Cortex ingest endpoint; the code describes local summarization and a transcript fallback as its capture behavior.
- The SHA-1 use shown is a short local cache key derived from the working directory, not credential protection or exfiltration.
Evidence against
- No npm preinstall, install, or postinstall hook is declared.
- The inspected setup and persistence behavior is activated through CLI setup or an explicit launch-agent load instruction.
- The inspected network sink is the Cortex ingest API, consistent with the package’s stated integration.
