AI Security Review
scanned 16d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and the flagged configuration and persistence behavior is tied to explicit CLI commands. The inspected code provides no confirmed attack surface.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.
Trigger
A user invokes setup, install, or uninstall from the CLI; Antigravity activation requires a separate launchctl command.
Impact
No confirmed attack impact; the observed changes support the package's setup and cleanup functions.
Mechanism
The adapters write the package's assistant configuration and skills. Antigravity setup writes a script and plist but leaves loading the plist to the user.
AI rationale
The manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and the flagged configuration and persistence behavior is tied to explicit CLI commands. The inspected code provides no confirmed attack surface.
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 lists only release, promote, and rollback scripts; the CLI dispatches setup, install, and uninstall as explicit commands.
- Setup requires a supplied token and writes assistant configuration. The Codex and Cursor adapters check for a token before writing their respective configuration files.
- The skills installer writes skill files into Claude and Codex skill directories, backing up changed files.
- Uninstall runs only through its CLI command; its dry-run mode skips configuration writes.
- The transcript helper searches the local Claude projects directory for a file matching the supplied session ID.
- Antigravity setup writes a script and launchd plist but does not load the plist; its warning says a separate launchctl command is needed to activate the watcher.
