AI Security Review
scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe lifecycle scripts perform only a Node-version check and a local informational banner. The suspicious primitives are package-aligned, explicit runtime helpers without a concrete malicious chain.
Decision evidence
public snapshot- Install lifecycle hooks are present.
- An exported version helper fetches a fixed GitHub URL.
- Media code invokes ffmpeg with fixed arguments.
- Preinstall only enforces Node 20+.
- Postinstall only reads local package.json and prints a banner.
- Remote version response is parsed as a numeric version; no code execution.
- No credential harvesting, exfiltration, persistence, or agent-control writes found.
