AI Security Review
scanned 26d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe scanner signals resolve to package-aligned login, user-invoked upgrade, port discovery, screen capture, and cleanup of historical LinkShell hooks. The postinstall script adjusts permissions on node-pty helpers; inspected code does not establish malicious behavior.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
Installation runs the postinstall helper; other reviewed network, screen capture, and upgrade behavior requires login, an active screen session, or an explicit command.
Impact
No malicious impact was established from the inspected source.
Mechanism
The installer locates node-pty helper files and sets executable permissions. Login uses a loopback callback and LinkShell authentication service; hook cleanup removes matching historical LinkShell entries.
AI rationale
The scanner signals resolve to package-aligned login, user-invoked upgrade, port discovery, screen capture, and cleanup of historical LinkShell hooks. The postinstall script adjusts permissions on node-pty helpers; inspected code does not establish malicious behavior.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 92.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- package.json defines a postinstall hook that runs a package-local script; that script locates node-pty helpers and adjusts their executable permissions.
- The login command receives tokens through a loopback callback and saves them for LinkShell authentication; it opens the package-aligned login page.
- The hook configuration routines identify and remove historical LinkShell hook entries from named agent settings files.
- The Claude SDK source location concerns Claude project directories, not agent configuration writes.
- Port discovery runs lsof to list listening sockets; the screen fallback captures frames only while explicitly active.
- The gateway is the package's stated service, and upgrading through npm occurs only when the user invokes the upgrade command.
