AI Security Review

scanned 1mo ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

Source inspection found an explicit first-party agent-extension installer with filesystem mutation and repository retrieval, but no npm lifecycle hook, secret harvesting, or unconsented automatic execution. The networked examples are separately invoked API examples using user-supplied tokens.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source

Trigger

A user runs the package bin command without dry-run.

Impact

Installed skill instructions can affect later AI-agent behavior in the selected target.

Mechanism

Clone and copy selected skill directories into agent configuration locations.

AI rationale

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 84.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for warning

The user-invoked installer can copy skills into AI-agent skill directories, including the default Antigravity directory.
The installer clones the publisher repository and then writes the selected content to the target directory.
This is a first-party agent-extension installer, not an automatic npm lifecycle action.

Evidence against

package.json contains no preinstall, install, postinstall, or prepare hook.
The Apify and Hugging Face examples require explicit execution and use their respective user-provided tokens.
The flagged shell file is an isolated non-destructive test, and the PDF is a ReportLab document.
