⚠ Under reviewrunlot CLI — deploy apps and manage PostgreSQL
AI Security Review
scanned 8d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe manifest shows no install hook, and the inspected JavaScript did not independently prove an attack. The required native executable has unsupported analysis and may be launched by the CLI, leaving its behavior genuinely unresolved.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
A CLI action that selects the bundled development runtime may launch it.
Impact
The native runtime's effects remain unknown; no specific harmful effect was established.
Mechanism
The JavaScript locates the bundled executable; available offline analysis could not determine the executable's behavior.
AI rationale
The manifest shows no install hook, and the inspected JavaScript did not independently prove an attack. The required native executable has unsupported analysis and may be launched by the CLI, leaving its behavior genuinely unresolved.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Manual Review at 96.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.
AI review observations
- The package manifest exposes a CLI entrypoint and lists no install lifecycle hook.
- The CLI can select and run the bundled native development runtime.
- The native runtime analysis could not identify its format or behavior.
Evidence against
- The manifest scripts are build, test, and typecheck commands; no automatic install hook is listed.
- The JavaScript inspection did not independently establish malicious behavior.
