AI Security Review

scanned 15d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

Static inspection found package-aligned authentication to the default service and no source proof of a malicious redirect or credential exfiltration. The scanner hints do not establish the alleged behavior.

Static reason

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

Trigger

A caller invokes the CLI authentication flow and supplies a license key.

Impact

This is package-aligned authentication; inspected source did not establish credential theft or malicious redirection.

Mechanism

The CLI posts the supplied license key and project to the selected login endpoint; the default endpoint belongs to cdk-insights.dev.

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Clean at 79.0% confidence as Benign with medium false-positive risk.

Evidence for AI clean decision

package.json exposes a CLI and runs a prepare build hook.
dist/entry.js defaults authentication to the package service; the API URL can be configured with CDK_INSIGHTS_LICENSE_API_URL.
Authentication sends the supplied license key and project to the selected login endpoint.
dist/index.js begins with bundled library code; inspection found no separate credential redirect in its entry section.

Evidence against

The credential transfer occurs in an explicit authentication flow and uses the package's own service by default.
No inspected source established persistence of a credential redirection or a hidden third-party recipient.
