create-chemx@26.9.14-205
Chemical X Protocol: Private drop-in architecture starter kit and capsule generator
AI Security Review
scanned 11d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe explicit scaffolding command writes project-local AI tool instructions, which is a concrete capability warranting a warning. Inspected source did not establish an unconsented install hook or other concrete malicious behavior.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
The user invokes the package create command.
Impact
The generated rules can influence AI coding tools in that project.
Mechanism
The scaffolder writes starter files and creates `.cursorrules` in the selected project directory if it is absent.
AI rationale
The explicit scaffolding command writes project-local AI tool instructions, which is a concrete capability warranting a warning. Inspected source did not establish an unconsented install hook or other concrete malicious behavior.
Evidence
cli/index.jscli/scaffold.js
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 82.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The package exposes a CLI, and its create command activates the scaffolder.
- The scaffolder creates a project-local `.cursorrules` file with instructions for an AI coding tool.
- The agent configuration write is part of an explicit project scaffolding command; no broader agent configuration mutation is established.
Evidence against
- The manifest has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook.
- No concrete credential theft, destructive behavior, or hidden persistence was identified in the inspected paths.
