droid@0.247.0
⚠ Under reviewFactory Droid CLI - AI-powered software engineering agent
AI Security Review
scanned 14d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe inspected lifecycle code performs product-aligned binary setup, but the platform-specific executable dependencies were unresolved and absent from the snapshot. That leaves a selected executable boundary unreviewed, so the package cannot be cleared as clean from the available source.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Package installation runs the postinstall hook; the fallback download runs if the platform binary is missing.
Impact
The executable is run when the CLI is invoked, but its behavior could not be assessed from this package snapshot.
Mechanism
The installer retrieves a platform package from the npm registry, extracts its executable into the package bin directory, and can link that executable as bin/droid.
AI rationale
The inspected lifecycle code performs product-aligned binary setup, but the platform-specific executable dependencies were unresolved and absent from the snapshot. That leaves a selected executable boundary unreviewed, so the package cannot be cleared as clean from the available source.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Manual Review at 84.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.
AI review observations
- package.json runs install.js during postinstall and declares version-pinned platform-specific optional binary packages.
- The installer uses the optional binary when available and otherwise attempts an npm download.
- The fallback writes the extracted native executable into the package's bin directory.
- On Unix, postinstall links the selected binary over bin/droid.
- The selected native dependency source was unresolved in the supplied review records, so its behavior could not be assessed.
Evidence against
- The declared binary packages match the product name and package version.
- The inspected installer behavior is consistent with setting up the platform-specific CLI and optimizing its command shim.

Install Time Lifecycle Scripts
Package defines install-time lifecycle scripts.

Install-time code downloads an unverified remote native executable, stages it locally, activates an executable path, and exposes it to process execution.

Unverified Remote Native Payload Install
Install-time source downloads a native archive from a fixed external host without transport verification, extracts it, and installs an executable payload.
