AI Security Review
scanned 3h ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe inspected postinstall behavior is a native dependency repair, and heartbeat telemetry is disabled when no setting is supplied. The required clean-review citation set exceeds the 256-citation limit, so the full package remains unresolved.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review
Trigger
No malicious trigger was confirmed in the inspected source.
Impact
No attack impact was established from the inspected source.
Mechanism
The inspected install hook invokes a native SQLite repair script; heartbeat sending is gated by telemetry configuration.
AI rationale
The inspected postinstall behavior is a native dependency repair, and heartbeat telemetry is disabled when no setting is supplied. The required clean-review citation set exceeds the 256-citation limit, so the full package remains unresolved.
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Manual Review at 86.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.
AI review observations
- The manifest’s postinstall hook runs a native SQLite repair script.
- The repair script checks whether the installed SQLite binary works before attempting recovery.
- The server supplies a disabled telemetry setting when none is configured, and heartbeat sending checks whether telemetry is enabled.
