AI Security Review

scanned 3mo ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

This is a guarded lifecycle configuration migration, not concrete malware: it has no observed exfiltration, remote payload execution, or broad/foreign agent-config mutation. Flag as warn because it still changes user-scope MCP configuration from postinstall.

Static reason

One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source

Trigger

npm install within ~/.aikit/versions/v*-staging/package with ~/.aikit/current-version.json present

Impact

Existing AI Kit MCP registrations may be rewritten during its managed updater flow.

Mechanism

guarded same-vendor MCP launcher migration

AI rationale

Evidence

package.jsonbin/postinstall-managed-launcher.mjspackages/cli/dist/index.js~/.aikit/current-version.json

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 91.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for warning

package.json runs postinstall.
Postinstall imports and runs CLI migration in a managed staging install.
CLI migration updates detected user-scope MCP configuration entries.

Evidence against

Postinstall is a no-op outside ~/.aikit/versions/v*-staging/package.
Migration only replaces existing AI Kit or version-pinned AI Kit entries.
No credential harvesting or install-time network request found.
