Kinetik engine and project initializer for Three.js games

AI Security Review

scanned 3h ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

No confirmed malicious attack surface. The lifecycle hook refreshes a package editor template in an existing Kinetik-style project, while runtime dynamic imports and networking are package-aligned game engine features.

Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
npm install postinstall; user-invoked CLI/editor/runtime APIs
Impact
May update project src/editor.html during install when src exists; no evidence of exfiltration or control hijack.
Mechanism
project scaffold/template sync and game runtime module loading
Rationale
Static inspection shows suspicious primitives are aligned with a Three.js game engine and scaffold/editor workflow, not malware. The install hook mutates a project editor template but does not touch foreign AI-agent surfaces, persist, harvest secrets, or contact attacker endpoints.

Decision evidence

public snapshot
AI called this Clean at 90.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for block
  • package.json defines postinstall: node sync-generated-editor-html.js
  • sync-generated-editor-html.js writes src/editor.html in INIT_CWD when a src directory exists
Evidence against
  • postinstall only copies package scaffold/src/editor.html into project src/editor.html; no agent/control-surface writes found
  • scriptManager.js dynamic import loads browser level scripts from gameState/object userData relative to window location
  • networking.js uses fetch only after configureNet({apiBase}) and has no hardcoded exfiltration endpoint
  • init.js/bin/create-kinetik-app.js are explicit scaffold generators copying project template files
  • scaffold/electron-main.js file writes are editor save/import/export handlers for project assets and app userData
  • No credential/env harvesting, remote code download, persistence hooks, destructive behavior, or prompt/reviewer manipulation found
