AI Security Review
scanned 8h ago · by lpm-firewall-aiNo confirmed malicious attack surface. The package is a create-* CLI that writes Zenith CMS scaffold files only when the user runs the bin command.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
User runs create-zenithcms-app [directory]
Impact
Creates a CMS starter project in the requested directory; no exfiltration, persistence, lifecycle mutation, or agent control hijack identified.
Mechanism
local project scaffolding with generated config, docs, tests, and random .env secrets
Rationale
Source inspection shows a user-invoked scaffolding CLI with no install-time execution, network code, credential harvesting, persistence, or foreign AI-agent control-surface mutation. Scanner secret/env hits are generated local secrets and documentation/template examples, so they do not establish malicious behavior.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 93.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for block
Evidence against
- package.json has no lifecycle hooks; only bin maps create-zenithcms-app to ./dist/index.js.
- dist/index.js is a user-invoked scaffolding CLI that creates a target project directory and exits.
- Generated .env secrets use crypto.randomBytes locally; no hardcoded live secret or credential harvesting found.
- No child_process, eval/vm/Function, dynamic require/import, native binary loading, or network request APIs found.
- process.env references are inside generated app/docs plugin examples, not used to read and exfiltrate reviewer/user credentials.
- No AI-agent control-surface writes such as .mcp.json, CLAUDE.md, Codex/Cursor settings, hooks, or persistence files found.
