negotium@0.14.0

Install the Negotium multi-agent runtime and CLI with one package

AI Security Review

scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The package has broad agent-runtime capabilities and a binary-installing postinstall hook, but source inspection shows the installers verify pinned downloads and the identified API request is key-gated, feature-aligned behavior. No concrete malicious chain was found.

Static reason

One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source

Trigger

A user configures a cron task and a cron-summary API key.

Impact

No unconsented credential theft, persistence, or destructive behavior was confirmed.

Mechanism

Configured AI task summarization request.

AI rationale

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Clean at 90.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for AI clean decision

The package has an automatic postinstall hook.
Runtime code can access Codex authentication files and send configured cron labels to DeepSeek.
The browser runtime imports child-process functionality.

Evidence against

The postinstall installers download version-pinned binaries from the package vendor's GitHub releases and verify SHA-256 hashes.
The DeepSeek request requires an explicitly configured API key and is limited to a scheduled-task label.
No hardcoded unofficial credential gateway, secret theft, destructive action, or foreign AI-agent configuration write was found in the inspected source.
