AI Security Review
scanned 1d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe inspected high-risk paths did not substantiate the scanner’s credential-redirection or persistence claims. A clean verdict requires citations for 419 paths, beyond the allowed 256, so the package needs further review.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
No malicious trigger was confirmed in the inspected source paths.
Impact
No unauthorized credential transfer or backdoor persistence was established by these excerpts; the broader package review is incomplete.
Mechanism
The inspected credential code uses the local operating system keychain, and the inspected Telegram request targets Telegram’s API.
AI rationale
The inspected high-risk paths did not substantiate the scanner’s credential-redirection or persistence claims. A clean verdict requires citations for 419 paths, beyond the allowed 256, so the package needs further review.
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Manual Review at 73.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.
AI review observations
- The manifest’s install hook runs a helper for the better-sqlite3 native binary; the helper describes testing or building that binary.
- The inspected Telegram request uses Telegram’s API host.
- The credential provider reads credentials from the operating system keychain and writes Claude OAuth fields back to that store.
- The inspected Git signing code writes an allowed-signers file under the package state directory.
Evidence against
- The inspected source excerpts did not establish the flagged credential redirect or persistence backdoor.
- A full clean review would require citations for 419 distinct paths, exceeding the 256 citation limit.
