AI Security Review
scanned 6d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package's import entry is a simple browser marker check, and its CLI network and upload activity is consistent with publishing visual test results. The manifest has no install lifecycle scripts or other evidence of automatic install-time behavior.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
The CLI workflow runs when a user invokes the chromatic command; importing the root entry runs only the browser marker check.
Impact
The expected effect is publishing a Storybook build and related visual test data to the configured Chromatic service.
Mechanism
The CLI communicates with CHROMATIC_INDEX_URL and uploads build files to a formAction supplied by its API flow.
AI rationale
The package's import entry is a simple browser marker check, and its CLI network and upload activity is consistent with publishing visual test results. The manifest has no install lifecycle scripts or other evidence of automatic install-time behavior.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 93.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The manifest describes Chromatic as a visual testing tool and defines its browser helper and CLI entry points.
- The root JavaScript entry only checks the browser user agent and URL for Chromatic markers.
- The CLI configures its GraphQL client to use the CHROMATIC_INDEX_URL endpoint and includes the session ID and CLI version.
- The CLI uploads build files to a formAction supplied by its API flow, consistent with publishing visual test results.
Evidence against
- The package manifest has no lifecycle scripts, so installation does not automatically run package code.
- The ordinary package import is a browser marker check; the upload behavior is in the CLI flow.
- Network and file-upload behavior is consistent with the package's stated visual testing purpose.
