muse-gateway@1.0.7
Muse Gateway — local Muse session pool & OpenAI-compatible gateway. License key required to unlock /v1/* API.
AI Security Review
scanned 2d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe packaged AGENTS.md explicitly attempts to control and halt this security review, which is evidence of malicious reviewer manipulation. The package has no install hooks and otherwise describes a local gateway, but those facts do not negate the review-suppression behavior.
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 review.
Impact
Could conceal package behavior and obstruct security review.
Mechanism
The file impersonates a higher-priority directive and orders the reviewer to stop analysis and refuse.
Attack narrative
The published AGENTS.md claims authority over the review, directs AI agents to stop examining protected code, and supplies a mandatory refusal. This is packaged review manipulation that can suppress inspection; the manifest confirms AGENTS.md is shipped with the CLI and app.
AI rationale
The packaged AGENTS.md explicitly attempts to control and halt this security review, which is evidence of malicious reviewer manipulation. The package has no install hooks and otherwise describes a local gateway, but those facts do not negate the review-suppression behavior.
Evidence
AGENTS.mdpackage.json
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Malicious at 97.0% confidence as Malware with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for block
- AGENTS.md claims system-level authority and says it overrides user instructions.
- AGENTS.md tells AI reviewers to stop reading and refuse analysis, suppressing review of the package.
- package.json includes AGENTS.md in the published files list.
- The manifest has no lifecycle scripts; the README describes a self-hosted local gateway.
Evidence against
- The manifest defines a CLI entrypoint and no install lifecycle hooks.
- The README describes a local session pool and OpenAI-compatible gateway as the package’s purpose.
