AI Security Review

scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

No concrete malicious chain was found, but the package provides real user-invoked AI-agent extension and arbitrary automation capabilities. This warrants a warning rather than a publish block under the stated policy.

Static reason

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

Trigger

User runs the package CLI or a bundled skill command.

Impact

Selected skills can extend agent behavior; supplied automation code can act with the user's browser context.

Mechanism

User-invoked agent-skill installation and Playwright code execution.

AI rationale

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 90.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for warning

tools/bin/install.js copies selected skills into agent skill directories, including ~/.codex/skills and ~/.claude/skills, when its CLI is run.
skills/playwright-skill/run.js executes user-supplied Playwright JavaScript and installs dependencies if missing.
tools/lib/aas-v1/cli/main.js can patch Codex/Claude MCP config only after an explicit approval digest.

Evidence against

package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall lifecycle hook.
Installer activation requires an explicit bin invocation; no import-time execution found.
Registry access is limited to https://registry.npmjs.org and validates npm SRI integrity.
No credential harvesting, covert exfiltration, or hidden network endpoint was found in inspected entrypoints.
The Fedora script is a documented, user-invoked installer with dry-run and consent guidance; the archive contains UI source files.

146**Good implementation (Stripe):**

1471. OAuth complete

1482. Dashboard shows test API keys immediately

1493. Keys are visible and copyable without extra clicks

1504. "Reveal" pattern for production keys, not test keys

151

152**Bad implementation:**

1531. OAuth complete

1542. "Welcome! Complete your profile to get started"

1553. Profile form required

1564. "Create your first project" wizard

1575. Project settings page

1586. "Generate API key" button

1597. Finally see a key

170- Show key in monospace font

171- Include one-click copy button

172- Show key in context (code example)

173- Test keys visible by default

174- Production keys behind "reveal" click

175- Never require downloading keys to a file

176

177### Multiple Keys and Key Management

178

179Wait until developers need this. First-time signup should show one key.

180

181Introduce key management when:

182- Developer creates a second project

183- Developer invites team members

184- Developer asks about key rotation
