AI Security Review
scanned 23d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiSource inspection did not confirm the scanner’s credential-exfiltration or account-hijack claims. The inspected behaviors align with the package’s runtime API and require caller configuration or explicit browser profile save selection.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
Package use through its declared runtime entrypoints.
Impact
No unconsented credential disclosure or automatic account mutation was established.
Mechanism
The reviewed credential calls are service API operations, and browser profile changes require an explicit caller option.
AI rationale
Source inspection did not confirm the scanner’s credential-exfiltration or account-hijack claims. The inspected behaviors align with the package’s runtime API and require caller configuration or explicit browser profile save selection.
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 87.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The manifest identifies the package runtime entrypoints and contains no install lifecycle hook.
- The cited credential methods perform ordinary credential-provider API operations.
- A bundled helper encrypts and decrypts stored values.
- The core bundle imports local service modules; no dynamic evaluation was found in the targeted search.
- Deployment behavior is selected through named environment settings.
- The inspected browser code observes login state, and profile changes are saved only when the caller sets the save option to true.
