AI Security Review

scanned 3mo ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

Direct inspection confirms a foreign, unauthenticated-by-trusted-key remote binary source in the CLI execution path. Same-origin checksum validation does not mitigate malicious mirror-controlled payloads.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source closely matched a different package identity; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source

Trigger

Running the prisma CLI when required engines are absent.

Impact

Mirror control can replace database-engine binaries executed by CLI workflows.

Mechanism

Remote native-engine download and local deployment from a foreign mirror.

Attack narrative

The CLI constructs engine URLs under github.com/lh0x00/prisma, downloads compressed native engines, validates them using checksum files from the same mirror, and places the resulting binaries for CLI use. This remote payload trust change is concrete and is reachable through the package binary, while the preinstall hook itself only checks Node compatibility.

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Malicious at 96.0% confidence as Malware with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for block

build/cli.js defaults engine downloads to github.com/lh0x00/prisma, not the declared Prisma repository.
build/cli.js fetches, gunzips, and writes those remote engine binaries to local target paths.
Remote checksum is fetched from the same untrusted mirror, so it does not authenticate the payload.
package.json exposes build/cli.js through the prisma bin.

Evidence against

scripts/preinstall-entry.js only invokes a Node-version compatibility check; no install-time payload download was found.
