AI Security Review

scanned 3h ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

Installation downloads an opaque native executable, and the CLI later executes it. The JavaScript wrapper provides no integrity validation for the downloaded release asset.

Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
`npm install`/`npx` runs `postinstall`; invoking `forge-cockpit` runs the fetched binary.
Impact
A compromised or replaced release asset could execute arbitrary code as the installing or CLI user.
Mechanism
install-time remote binary download followed by CLI execution
Rationale
The wrapper itself shows no direct exfiltration, destructive action, or AI-agent control-surface mutation. However, it is a version-pinned but integrity-unverified remote executable bootstrapper, so the opaque payload remains a material supply-chain risk.

Decision evidence

public snapshot
AI called this Suspicious at 93.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
  • `postinstall.js` runs automatically via `postinstall`.
  • `postinstall.js` fetches a platform binary from a GitHub Release.
  • Downloaded bytes are written as `bin/forge` or `bin/forge.exe` without checksum/signature validation.
  • `bin/forge-cockpit.js` executes that downloaded binary with `spawnSync`.
Evidence against
  • No credential, environment, or user-file collection appears in inspected JavaScript.
  • No package source writes AI-agent configuration or persistence locations.
  • The download URL is version-pinned to this package's declared GitHub repository.
