AI Security Review
scanned 5d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe install-time behavior is limited to global installs, fetching the package's own versioned native runtime from its GitHub release, and recording an install stamp. The flagged credential and account-action paths are not part of the normal install or import flow.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
npm global install or version update; native hydration is skipped for local installs.
Impact
Expected package setup behavior; no collection or transmission of user, project, or credential data was found in this flow.
Mechanism
Fetches a version-matched native release manifest and asset from the package repository, then writes an install-version stamp.
AI rationale
The install-time behavior is limited to global installs, fetching the package's own versioned native runtime from its GitHub release, and recording an install stamp. The flagged credential and account-action paths are not part of the normal install or import flow.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 94.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The postinstall hook calls the package's postinstall module.
- Local installs return immediately; the install work is limited to global installs.
- Native release downloads resolve to this package's GitHub repository release URL.
- The hook records the installed version in a user-scope install-state file.
Evidence against
- The native binary fetch can be disabled with OMX_NATIVE_AUTO_FETCH=0.
- The flagged evaluation collector is an explicitly invoked function, not import-time behavior.
