AI Security Review
scanned 20d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiSource inspection found package-aligned service calls and user-invoked setup behavior, but no concrete attack. The scanner's credential and browser-session indicators were not supported by the inspected source excerpts.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
No malicious trigger was established; the reviewed configuration and session features are user-invoked.
Impact
No unauthorized credential disclosure, account mutation, or persistence was established.
Mechanism
The inspected credential wrapper targets the package service, while configuration application and profile persistence are tied to explicit options or setup flows.
AI rationale
Source inspection found package-aligned service calls and user-invoked setup behavior, but no concrete attack. The scanner's credential and browser-session indicators were not supported by the inspected source excerpts.
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 83.0% confidence as Benign with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- package.json declares runtime entrypoints and closes its manifest without lifecycle scripts.
- The credential client excerpt wraps the service's own credentials resource; it does not show transfer to an unrelated recipient.
- The reviewed application chunks contain product code, including a physical-permission error path; no attack behavior was established in the inspected excerpts.
- The library ingest call sends supplied tool arguments to the MCP Scraper service using its API key.
- The CLI applies Claude Code configuration only when the explicit apply option is set.
- Browser profile persistence is controlled by a save-changes option, and the X-Ray module exposes a user-facing setup tool.
