AI Security Review
scanned 22d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe flagged dynamic code evaluates browser-page callbacks with abort and deadline checks, and the credential wrapper exposes ordinary service operations. The reviewed manifest has no lifecycle script, and the source did not establish an unrequested account change or credential transfer.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
Scraping runs through caller requests; profile persistence and CLI configuration changes require explicit settings or commands.
Impact
No unauthorized credential disclosure, account mutation, or install-time change was established.
Mechanism
The dynamic function evaluates serialized page-inspection callbacks, while the credential client makes ordinary service API calls.
AI rationale
The flagged dynamic code evaluates browser-page callbacks with abort and deadline checks, and the credential wrapper exposes ordinary service operations. The reviewed manifest has no lifecycle script, and the source did not establish an unrequested account change or credential transfer.
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 92.0% confidence as Benign with high false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- package.json routes package imports and commands to runtime entry points; the reviewed manifest declares no lifecycle script.
- The flagged credential client exposes ordinary service API operations on credential records.
- The package exposes caller-requested scraping functions and PAA harvesting for the supplied search query.
- The flagged dynamic function serializes callbacks for browser-page evaluation and checks abort and deadline state.
- The scrape-result sync uses an existing API key and defaults to the package service; it is called while writing a JSON scrape artifact.
- Browser-profile persistence requires an explicit true setting, and CLI configuration changes require the explicit --apply option.
