AI Security Review
scanned 12d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiSource inspection found an ordinary CLI entrypoint without install hooks and limited package-aligned telemetry after successful project creation. The scanner's credential-exfiltration hint is not supported by the inspected request payload or send path.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
A user runs the CLI and completes project creation.
Impact
The inspected payload contains no credentials, environment contents, hostnames, or project paths, and no harmful effect was established.
Mechanism
The CLI posts runtime categories and selected setup options to its fixed telemetry endpoint; environment flags can disable the report.
AI rationale
Source inspection found an ordinary CLI entrypoint without install hooks and limited package-aligned telemetry after successful project creation. The scanner's credential-exfiltration hint is not supported by the inspected request payload or send path.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 96.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- package.json exposes dist/index.js as the CLI and lists only build, development, test, and typecheck scripts; it defines no install lifecycle hook.
- Telemetry is called after a successful project creation. Its payload contains CLI version, runtime and CI categories, explicit flags, and project selections; opt-out environment flags disable sending.
- The CLI posts that JSON to its fixed package telemetry endpoint. The payload does not include credentials, environment contents, hostnames, or project paths.
- The inspected dependency manifests and entrypoints identify the required packages as prompt, terminal styling, and command-line libraries; their cited scripts and entrypoint excerpts show no related attack behavior.
