AI Security Review
scanned 16d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe manifest has no npm install lifecycle hook, and the reviewed integration changes are reached through explicit CLI actions. The flagged Antigravity persistence setup requires a separate user-run activation command; no concrete attack behavior was found.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
A user invokes a CLI command such as login, setup, install, or uninstall.
Impact
No unconsented install-time control-surface change, unrelated credential disclosure, or other concrete attack was established.
Mechanism
The CLI configures assistant integrations, installs skills, or removes managed configuration. Antigravity setup writes activation files and directs the user to activate the watcher.
AI rationale
The manifest has no npm install lifecycle hook, and the reviewed integration changes are reached through explicit CLI actions. The flagged Antigravity persistence setup requires a separate user-run activation command; no concrete attack behavior was found.
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 91.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- package.json exposes a CLI and contains no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook.
- The CLI routes login and setup through explicit subcommands; login starts a device sign-in request to the configured Cortex service.
- Editor configuration changes and skill installation support explicit setup or install flows; the inspected Codex and Cursor integrations describe capture behavior.
- Uninstall changes are gated by dry-run handling, and working-file tracking locates a session transcript.
- Antigravity setup writes a script and launch-agent file, then tells the user to run a command to activate the watcher.
