AI Security Review

scanned 6h ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The postinstall hook can update the consuming project's npm script-approval policy. It approves dependencies with lifecycle scripts, potentially allowing their install scripts to run.

Static reason

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

Trigger

Installing the package through npm when its postinstall hook runs.

Impact

The consumer project's install-script approvals are broadened without an explicit per-package approval step in this code.

Mechanism

The hook scans the consumer's node_modules and adds discovered lifecycle-script package names to the consumer package.json allowScripts map.

AI rationale

The install-time mutation of the consumer's npm script-approval policy is a real unresolved install-hook risk, so this package warrants a warning. The inspected Pushover request uses the configured credentials with the fixed Pushover endpoint; it does not establish credential exfiltration.

Evidence

package.jsonscripts/install-static-checkers.tsConsumer project's package.json

Network endpoints1

api.pushover.net

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 89.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.

How it works

Evidence for warning

The postinstall hook runs the bundled checker installer.
During postinstall, the installer scans installed packages for lifecycle scripts and adds approvals to the consumer project's allowScripts setting.
The installer writes the merged allowScripts setting to the consumer package manifest.
The notification code sends configured Pushover credentials to the fixed Pushover API endpoint.

Evidence against

The Pushover request targets the intended Pushover API and uses configured notification credentials.
No inspected source showed credential forwarding to an unrestricted endpoint.
