AI Security Review

scanned 3d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The source establishes automatic replacement of project-level agent instructions during builds, supporting a behavior-specific warning. The install hooks themselves do not invoke that synchronizer, and the inspected source does not establish concrete malicious behavior.

Static reason

One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source

Trigger

Running the package’s build script in a project where the remote agent-instruction version is newer.

Impact

Future agent runs may consume remotely updated instructions; source inspection does not establish that the update is malicious.

Mechanism

The script downloads an archive and replaces the project-root AGENTS.md and AGENTS directory without an approval prompt.

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 88.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.

Evidence for warning

During a build, the script fetches a newer instruction archive from htmlcodeplay.com and replaces project-root AGENTS.md and the AGENTS directory without an approval check.
The package also has preinstall and postinstall hooks, but the instruction synchronizer is called by the build script’s main routine.
The project-level instruction update is a first-party setup capability with unresolved risk because future agent runs may consume the remotely updated instructions.

Evidence against

Source shows the instruction update is invoked from the build script, not directly from either npm lifecycle hook.
The preinstall cleanup skips AGENTS.md and AGENTS, and the downloaded archive is checked for unsafe paths before extraction.
