AI Security Review
scanned 3mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe scanner's credential-exfiltration and overwrite claims were not confirmed by source inspection. The confirmed explicit agent-skill installer warrants a warning under the stated policy, not a block.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
User runs `momentic install-skills --editor <editor>`.
Impact
Installs package-provided instructions that may influence the selected coding agent.
Mechanism
Explicit cross-agent project skill installation.
AI rationale
The scanner's credential-exfiltration and overwrite claims were not confirmed by source inspection. The confirmed explicit agent-skill installer warrants a warning under the stated policy, not a block.
Evidence
package.jsonbin/cli.js.cursor/skills/<skill>/SKILL.md.claude/skills/<skill>/SKILL.md.agents/skills/<skill>/SKILL.md.opencode/skills/<skill>/SKILL.md.github/skills/<skill>/SKILL.md
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 88.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- Explicit `install-skills` command writes bundled SKILL.md files into selected agent/editor directories.
- Supported targets include Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, and Copilot project skill paths.
Evidence against
- package.json exposes only a bin and has no lifecycle scripts.
- Skill writes require the user to invoke `momentic install-skills` and choose an editor.
- API-key use is for the configured Momentic client/API flow; no confirmed credential harvesting or unofficial credential gateway was found.
