AI Security Review
scanned 25d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package has a real first-party agent setup capability that changes assistant configuration, so a warning is appropriate. The inspected changes require explicit setup, and the package manifest has no install lifecycle hook; no concrete attack behavior was established.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
A user runs the package setup command; Antigravity watcher activation additionally requires a separate launchctl command.
Impact
The configured assistant may run package-provided hooks and use managed skills in later sessions. The inspected source does not establish unconsented install-time mutation or malicious behavior.
Mechanism
Setup writes assistant configuration and managed skills. The Antigravity adapter writes a sync script and launch-agent file, but does not load the agent itself.
AI rationale
The package has a real first-party agent setup capability that changes assistant configuration, so a warning is appropriate. The inspected changes require explicit setup, and the package manifest has no install lifecycle hook; no concrete attack behavior was established.
Evidence
lib/setup.mjslib/skills.mjslib/editors/antigravity.mjs
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 87.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- package.json exposes a CLI and release scripts, with no npm install lifecycle hook.
- The setup command explicitly calls runSetup, which configures assistant hooks and installs managed skills.
- The package targets managed skills at Claude Code and Codex directories.
- The Antigravity adapter writes a sync script and launch-agent file but requires a separate launchctl command to activate it.
- The capture code sends an ingest request as part of its capture behavior.
Evidence against
- The inspected agent configuration changes are reached through an explicit setup command, not an npm install hook.
- The Antigravity adapter does not load its launch agent automatically.
