AI Security Review

scanned 20m ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

No confirmed malicious attack surface is established. Explicit CLI commands write project-local configuration or generated app files, and the `dev` command installs the generated app's fixed dependencies before starting Next.js.

Static reason

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

Trigger

User runs `aetherml init`, `generate`, `build`, `eject`, or `dev`.

Impact

Can create local `.env`, configuration, cache, and generated project files; `dev` invokes npm in `dist_app`.

Mechanism

User-invoked AI DSL generation and Next.js scaffold workflow.

Rationale

The flagged primitives are explicit CLI features aligned with an AI-powered project generator, not install-time or covert behavior. Source inspection found no credential harvesting, foreign agent-control mutation, remote payload execution, or exfiltration chain.

Evidence

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Clean at 90.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for block

bin/aetherml.js: explicit `dev` runs `npm install` with `shell: true` in generated `dist_app`.
bin/aetherml.js: explicit interactive `init` writes a supplied provider key to local `.env`.
src/core/provider-adapter.js: `generate` sends user prompts to the selected AI provider using configured credentials.

Evidence against

package.json has no preinstall, install, postinstall, or prepare lifecycle hook.
bin/aetherml.js only executes after the user invokes its CLI; no-argument use shows help.
src/core/enterprise-generator.js fixes generated dependencies to Next/React and optional declared integrations.
No source reads broad credential stores, agent configuration directories, SSH files, or npm config.
No eval, VM, dynamic code loading, binary payload, persistence, or destructive filesystem behavior found.
