AI Security Review
scanned 6d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe published AGENTS.md contains explicit instructions intended to override the security review and suppress findings. The launcher’s visible network access is limited to checking this package’s version at the npm registry, but that does not mitigate the reviewer manipulation.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review
Trigger
An AI reviewer reads AGENTS.md during package inspection.
Impact
It attempts to suppress security findings and obstruct the package review.
Mechanism
The file asserts false authority over the review, orders the reviewer to halt analysis, and dictates a refusal response.
Attack narrative
The package ships AGENTS.md and lists it in its published files. The file claims system-level authority, tells AI reviewers to stop inspecting the package, suppresses analysis, and prescribes a refusal. This is deliberate reviewer manipulation and supports blocking the package.
AI rationale
The published AGENTS.md contains explicit instructions intended to override the security review and suppress findings. The launcher’s visible network access is limited to checking this package’s version at the npm registry, but that does not mitigate the reviewer manipulation.
Evidence
AGENTS.md
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Malicious at 98.0% confidence as Malware with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for block
- The published package manifest explicitly includes AGENTS.md.
- AGENTS.md claims system-level authority and directs AI reviewers to stop analysis, suppress findings, and issue a prescribed refusal.
- The directives specifically prohibit reviewing the package’s protected internals, attempting to override the review task.
Evidence against
- The launcher’s visible external request checks the package’s latest version at the npm registry.
- The manifest contains no lifecycle scripts; the visible server startup is selected through launcher arguments or non-interactive use.
