injectlint@0.1.0

Pipe untrusted text in and watch prompt injections light up red in your terminal. A best-effort detector, not a guardrail.

AI Security Review

scanned 4h ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

No confirmed malicious attack surface. The package is a local CLI/library for detecting prompt-injection patterns in user-provided stdin text.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.

Trigger

User runs injectlint CLI or imports library APIs.

Impact

Flags suspicious input lines; no exfiltration, persistence, install-time mutation, or destructive behavior observed.

Mechanism

local text scanning and report rendering

Rationale

Static source inspection shows suspicious strings are package-aligned detection rules and documentation examples. There is no concrete malware behavior or unconsented install/import-time side effect.

Evidence

package.jsonREADME.mddist/cli.jsdist/index.jsdist/scan.jsdist/normalize.jsdist/patterns.jsdist/report.jsdist/render.jsdist/types.js

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Clean at 94.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for block

README.md and dist/patterns.js contain prompt-injection strings and Unicode/bidi samples as detector fixtures/rules, not executed payloads.

Evidence against

package.json has no preinstall/install/postinstall hook; only prepublishOnly build script.
dist/cli.js reads stdin, scans text, writes stdout/stderr, and exits; no network, shell, file writes, or persistence.
dist/index.js only re-exports scanner/render/report APIs.
dist/scan.js and dist/normalize.js perform local regex matching, Unicode normalization, and bounded base64/percent decoding.
rg found no child_process, eval/Function, filesystem writes, or runtime network APIs.
