AI Security Review
scanned 25d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and the persistence-related behavior is tied to explicit editor installation; the adapter does not load the generated launch agent. This warrants a warning for guarded agent lifecycle behavior, but the inspected source does not establish a malicious attack.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
User runs the package's install command with Antigravity detected.
Impact
If separately loaded, the agent could trigger recurring sync activity; source inspection does not establish a malicious payload or unauthorized data recipient.
Mechanism
The adapter writes a WatchPaths launch agent and a shell script intended to run sync when Antigravity's trajectory store changes; it does not load the agent.
AI rationale
The manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and the persistence-related behavior is tied to explicit editor installation; the adapter does not load the generated launch agent. This warrants a warning for guarded agent lifecycle behavior, but the inspected source does not establish a malicious attack.
Evidence
lib/editors/antigravity.mjs
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 86.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The package has no npm lifecycle hooks; its executable is an explicit command entrypoint.
- The Antigravity adapter can write a launch agent and sync script when its wire operation runs.
- The adapter says it does not load the launch agent and reports a blocking warning; the install command invokes editor wiring.
- The Codex, Cursor, setup, skills, uninstall, and working-files locations inspected concern editor detection, configuration, or session file lookup.
- Capture sends an authorization token to the configured Cortex service for its node-type request.
Evidence against
- Antigravity wiring creates a WatchPaths launch agent, a persistence mechanism that may run sync after watched data changes.
- The install command wires detected editors, so the Antigravity artifacts can be created through an explicit user command.
