AI Security Review
scanned 19d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiSource inspection found no malicious behavior. The scanner’s process, network, and Unicode indicators are consistent with the package’s CLI, service client, bundled tooling, and parser data.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
A user invokes the CLI or calls the exported runtime API.
Impact
No unrelated credential exposure, unconsented mutation, or other malicious impact was established.
Mechanism
The CLI uses project files and configuration to run visual testing and communicate with Chromatic services; bundled process and Unicode references belong to support libraries and parser tables.
AI rationale
Source inspection found no malicious behavior. The scanner’s process, network, and Unicode indicators are consistent with the package’s CLI, service client, bundled tooling, and parser data.
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 90.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The manifest identifies the package CLI entry and runtime exports; it declares no lifecycle hook.
- The flagged runtime-operation excerpt is part of an HTTP client that uses configured proxy and DNS settings.
- The flagged bundles contain project tooling, environment configuration, GraphQL service calls, CLI setup, and third-party support code; inspection found no unrelated credential transfer or attack behavior.
- The flagged invisible characters occur in bundled JavaScript identifier and whitespace tables, consistent with parser data.
Evidence against
- The package is a visual-testing CLI and API; its authentication and network code supports Chromatic service operations.
- No lifecycle mutation, unrelated credential recipient, or malicious execution was identified in the inspected source.
