AI Security Review
scanned 25d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiSource inspection found guarded Antigravity persistence configured through the explicit editor installer, so a warning is appropriate. No unconsented install-time mutation or concrete malicious behavior was established.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
A user runs the package's install command and the Antigravity adapter is selected.
Impact
The configured job can run sync behavior on later watched changes, creating platform-specific persistence after explicit setup.
Mechanism
The adapter writes a sync script and a launchd plist that watches Antigravity data changes; the plist disables RunAtLoad.
AI rationale
Source inspection found guarded Antigravity persistence configured through the explicit editor installer, so a warning is appropriate. No unconsented install-time mutation or concrete malicious behavior was established.
Evidence
lib/editors/antigravity.mjsbin/cortex-mcp.mjs~/.cortex/antigravity-sync.sh~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.cortex.antigravity-sync.plist
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 87.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The manifest exposes a CLI and declares no install lifecycle hooks.
- The explicit install command wires detected editor adapters; Antigravity writes a sync script and launchd plist.
- The Antigravity plist watches its application data directory and has RunAtLoad disabled, so sync runs on watched changes after setup.
- The Codex and Cursor adapters target their respective user configuration directories; the skills installer writes managed skill files.
- Uninstall is an explicit command and includes a dry-run option; no unconsented install-time control-surface mutation was identified.
Evidence against
- The explicit installer can create a launchd WatchPaths job that runs a sync script when Antigravity data changes, creating a guarded persistence capability.
