AI Security Review

scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

No evidence establishes covert package malware or install-time compromise. The shipped agent-oriented offensive material creates a real dangerous-capability risk, so a warning is appropriate.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.

Trigger

A user explicitly runs the installer and selects or enables the relevant skill, then an agent or user follows the offensive instructions.

Impact

An agent given these skills could be induced to execute target-side reconnaissance or data-exfiltration commands.

Mechanism

Agent skill installation and offensive command guidance.

AI rationale

No evidence establishes covert package malware or install-time compromise. The shipped agent-oriented offensive material creates a real dangerous-capability risk, so a warning is appropriate.

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 89.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.

Evidence for warning

The package ships agent-facing offensive reference material with commands that exfiltrate local account data to attacker-controlled hosts.
Its executable installer clones and installs selected skill content into agent skill directories after an explicit user command.
The manifest exposes that installer as the primary package command.

Evidence against

package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall lifecycle hook.
The Apify and Hugging Face examples use user-supplied service tokens only with their respective service endpoints.
The installer requires explicit invocation and offers a dry-run path; no covert install-time execution was found.
