AI Security Review
scanned 19d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and the inspected configuration changes are reached through explicit CLI commands. The flagged Antigravity persistence artifacts are written by the adapter, but activation requires a separate command.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.
Trigger
A user runs a CLI setup, install, or uninstall command; Antigravity activation requires a separate launch command.
Impact
No concrete attack effect was established.
Mechanism
The CLI wires assistant configuration and skills, and can write Antigravity sync artifacts. The inspected source does not establish an unconsented install-time action.
AI rationale
The manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and the inspected configuration changes are reached through explicit CLI commands. The flagged Antigravity persistence artifacts are written by the adapter, but activation requires a separate command.
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 84.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The manifest exposes a CLI and lists release, promote, and rollback scripts, with no install lifecycle hook.
- The setup branch calls configuration wiring only when the user runs the setup command.
- The Codex and Cursor adapters declare their capabilities; Cursor is described as capture-only.
- The skills adapter targets user-local assistant directories, and uninstall targets the package's assistant configuration files.
- Antigravity writes sync artifacts, but its warning says a separate launch command is needed to activate the watcher.
- Transcript lookup requires a session ID and searches for that session's transcript file.
