nebula-notebook@0.2.10
AI-native notebook computing environment — real Jupyter kernels, real filesystem, built to be driven by agents (Claude Code / Codex) via MCP
AI Security Review
scanned 3mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe scanner’s install/runtime findings map to documented notebook functionality and a repo-checkout-only postinstall hook. Direct inspection found no concrete malicious behavior or unconsented control-surface mutation.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
User runs nebula-notebook or explicitly uses its notebook/terminal features.
Impact
User-invoked local code execution and file operations are intrinsic to the notebook product; no unconsented malicious chain was found.
Mechanism
Local notebook server, kernels, PTY terminal, and opt-in CLI autocomplete.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 93.0% confidence as Benign with high false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- package.json defines postinstall.
- scripts/postinstall.cjs can run npm install only in a repo checkout.
Evidence against
- postinstall exits when installed under node_modules, so published dependency installs do not mutate subpackages.
- CLI only launches the bundled local server with inherited arguments.
- Network use is a notify-only npm update check.
- No credential harvesting, external exfiltration, remote payload loading, or AI-agent config mutation found.
