AI Security Review
scanned 15d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe inspected package source does not establish malicious behavior, and the plugin and panel findings have benign explanations in the reviewed excerpts. The required @earendil-works/pi-coding-agent dependency is imported by the CLI but its source was unavailable, so the runtime review remains unresolved.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
Normal CLI or agent runtime use loads the required coding-agent dependency.
Impact
The dependency's runtime behavior could not be assessed, so a clean verdict is not supported.
Mechanism
The package manifest declares the dependency and the CLI imports it; its source was unavailable for inspection.
AI rationale
The inspected package source does not establish malicious behavior, and the plugin and panel findings have benign explanations in the reviewed excerpts. The required @earendil-works/pi-coding-agent dependency is imported by the CLI but its source was unavailable, so the runtime review remains unresolved.
Evidence
package.jsondist/src/chat.js
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Manual Review at 86.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.
AI review observations
- package.json lists @earendil-works/pi-coding-agent as a runtime dependency and defines prepublishOnly as a branding check and build.
- dist/src/chat.js imports @earendil-works/pi-coding-agent in the CLI runtime, so its behavior is relevant to normal package use.
- The plugin installer requires an installable recommendation and a source reference before persisting it locally.
- The panel reads auth.json files to identify configured providers; this excerpt does not show credential transmission.
Evidence against
- The inspected package manifest has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook.
- The panel auth-file code shown reads values to identify provider names; no send operation appears in the inspected excerpt.
