AI Security Review
scanned 26d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiSource inspection shows a limited node-pty postinstall permission fix, package-owned hook cleanup, and user-invoked login and upgrade flows. The scanner's process and network signals correspond to those functions and do not establish malicious behavior.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
The permission fix runs during package postinstall; the cleanup runs when its caller performs the one-shot sweep.
Impact
No confirmed unauthorized credential exposure, broad agent configuration change, or other malicious effect was established.
Mechanism
The hook sets execute permissions on known node-pty helper paths. The cleanup reads agent settings and removes entries matching LinkShell hook markers or its legacy localhost hook.
AI rationale
Source inspection shows a limited node-pty postinstall permission fix, package-owned hook cleanup, and user-invoked login and upgrade flows. The scanner's process and network signals correspond to those functions and do not establish malicious behavior.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 94.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The install hook only locates node-pty spawn helpers and sets their executable permissions.
- The hook sweep targets existing LinkShell localhost hook entries in agent settings; it does not add hooks.
- The login flow accepts tokens through its local callback and uses them for authentication with the configured Supabase service.
- The upgrade command checks npm and installs a newer linkshell-cli release only when explicitly invoked.
- Agent subprocesses run using the selected command, arguments, working directory, and environment.
