AI Security Review
scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package does not show concrete malware behavior, but it has a real user-invoked AI-agent extension installation surface whose remote payload is not inspectable from this snapshot.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
A user runs the create-app CLI and does not use --skip-install.
Impact
An external package can add AI-agent skills to the newly created project without a separate confirmation step.
Mechanism
Automatic unpinned npx skills installation in the generated project.
AI rationale
The package does not show concrete malware behavior, but it has a real user-invoked AI-agent extension installation surface whose remote payload is not inspectable from this snapshot.
Evidence
build/index.js
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 84.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The project-generation flow automatically runs an unpinned external skills installer with confirmation disabled.
- The automatic skills task runs whenever dependency installation is not skipped.
Evidence against
- The manifest has no npm lifecycle hooks or runtime self-dependency.
- The MCP configuration flow presents an explicit IDE choice, including a No option.
- No credential harvesting, secret exfiltration, destructive action, or hidden install-time execution was confirmed.
