AI Security Review
scanned 25d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and the flagged agent configuration locations do not establish an unconsented attack. Their inspected behavior is consistent with explicit setup and package-specific editor integration.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.
Trigger
The package exposes a command-line entry point; the inspected setup wiring is announced as an explicit setup action.
Impact
No confirmed malicious impact was established from the inspected source.
Mechanism
The inspected adapter locations concern editor configuration and capture behavior; they do not establish covert control-surface mutation or credential exfiltration.
AI rationale
The manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and the flagged agent configuration locations do not establish an unconsented attack. Their inspected behavior is consistent with explicit setup and package-specific editor integration.
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 78.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- package.json exposes a command-line entry point and has no install lifecycle hook.
- The Codex and Cursor targets describe capture hooks; Cursor explicitly has no prompt-time context injection.
- Setup wiring is announced and performed by the explicit setup command.
- The skill target identifies only Claude and Codex skill directories.
- Uninstall references the package's named configuration files.
- The Antigravity adapter is an explicit editor adapter, and the diagnosis file describes Agnoclast service errors.
