AI Security Review
scanned 24d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe inspected source shows no install-time hook or confirmed attack behavior. The flagged dynamic loading, subprocess, file write, and network operations serve user-invoked package functions.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
User-invoked optimizer, runtime, CLI, or OAuth functionality.
Impact
No concrete malicious impact or covert exfiltration path was established.
Mechanism
Optimizer writeback verifies source hashes, subprocesses support runtime and CLI execution, and OAuth exchanges parameters with its configured token endpoint.
AI rationale
The inspected source shows no install-time hook or confirmed attack behavior. The flagged dynamic loading, subprocess, file write, and network operations serve user-invoked package functions.
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 94.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- package.json declares no install lifecycle hook; its scripts are development and CLI commands.
- dist/lib/optimize/workspace.js checks source hashes before writing changed optimizer files.
- dist/lib/runtime/ipc.js forks a subprocess as part of its runtime session handling.
- dist/lib/stdlib/oauth.js sends token exchange parameters to the configured OAuth token URL.
- dist/lib/cli/commands.js spawns Node with shell execution disabled to run compiled user output.
