AI Security Review
scanned 18d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and the inspected configuration writes are reached through explicit CLI commands. The flagged Antigravity persistence is an inactive artifact until separately loaded, while uninstall removes managed package entries.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.
Trigger
A user runs setup, install, or uninstall.
Impact
No confirmed attack surface was established from the inspected source.
Mechanism
The CLI writes or removes package-related agent configuration and files; Antigravity wiring creates watcher artifacts but does not load them.
AI rationale
The manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and the inspected configuration writes are reached through explicit CLI commands. The flagged Antigravity persistence is an inactive artifact until separately loaded, while uninstall removes managed package entries.
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 87.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- package.json exposes a CLI and has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook.
- The CLI reaches setup, install, and uninstall through named user commands; setup requires a supplied token.
- The Codex and Cursor adapters write the package’s MCP configuration when wired.
- Skills are installed into detected agent CLI directories, and transcript lookup reads the matching Claude session file.
- Antigravity wiring writes a script and launchd plist but does not load the watcher; uninstall is an explicit CLI command.
