AI Security Review

scanned 2h ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

Review flagged AI-agent configuration or capability changes. This remains warn-only unless evidence shows foreign-agent hijack through preinstall/install/postinstall, hidden persistence, exfiltration, remote code execution, or other concrete malicious behavior.

Static reason

No blocking static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source

Trigger

User runs `scripts/install.sh` or `scripts/install.ps1` with agent/tool options, or starts the MCP server.

Impact

A user can intentionally place package-supplied prompts into an AI-tool directory; MCP inputs may remain in package-local logs.

Mechanism

Explicit AI-agent prompt installation/conversion and local MCP request logging.

Rationale

This is not malicious because the AI-agent setup is explicit-user-command behavior with no lifecycle hook or covert execution. It warrants a warning because it intentionally provides AI-tool prompt installation/conversion and retains raw MCP request data locally.

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 91.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.

Evidence for warning

`scripts/install.sh` explicitly installs agent content for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or Gemini CLI into a selected target.
`scripts/install.ps1` provides the same explicit agent-install and conversion behavior on Windows.
`scripts/convert.py` serializes packaged agent prompts into tool-specific JSON manifests.
`mcp/server.js` persists raw MCP requests to `exports/logs/mcp.log`, creating a local prompt-data retention risk.

Evidence against

`package.json` has no preinstall, install, postinstall, prepare, or other lifecycle hook.
Installer defaults stay under package-owned `installed_agents`; external targets require an explicit `--target` argument.
No credential harvesting, unrelated network exfiltration, remote payload loading, eval, native binaries, or stealth persistence was found.
`runtime/executor.js` only sends user-run conversations and selected provider API keys to declared LLM provider endpoints.
