AI Security Review

scanned 2d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

No confirmed malicious attack surface. The install hook is a package-aligned binary installer that fetches mycel from its declared GitHub repository and writes it to bin/mycel.

Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
npm install postinstall; user runs mycel CLI
Impact
Installs intended CLI binary; no source evidence of exfiltration or unauthorized mutation
Mechanism
GitHub release binary download and local bin replacement
Rationale
Static inspection found an install-time downloader, but its behavior matches the documented npm wrapper purpose and is scoped to GitHub releases for the declared project. No concrete malicious behavior was found in the package source.
Evidence
package.jsoninstall.mjsbin/mycelREADME.md
Network endpoints2

Decision evidence

public snapshot
AI called this Clean at 88.0% confidence as Benign with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for block
  • package.json runs postinstall: node install.mjs
  • install.mjs downloads and executes a platform binary during install
Evidence against
  • install.mjs only contacts GitHub API/releases for rpuneet/mycel
  • downloaded archive extraction is limited to a mycel file under bin/mycel
  • execFileSync uses fixed args ["version"] without shell
  • bin/mycel is only a placeholder shell script with install guidance
  • No credential/env harvesting, persistence, destructive behavior, or prompt manipulation found
