AI Security Review
scanned 8d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiSource inspection confirms that the CLI can launch an opaque native helper with project secrets in its environment. Its hash-matched analysis leaves behavior unresolved, so the available evidence supports manual review rather than a malware finding.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
The CLI starts the local development runtime.
Impact
Whether the helper uses or exposes those secrets is unknown.
Mechanism
The helper receives the process environment with project secrets added; its native behavior could not be analyzed.
AI rationale
Source inspection confirms that the CLI can launch an opaque native helper with project secrets in its environment. Its hash-matched analysis leaves behavior unresolved, so the available evidence supports manual review rather than a malware finding.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Manual Review at 97.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.
AI review observations
- The CLI entrypoint can locate and start the packaged native development runtime.
- The start routine passes that helper the process environment and project secret values.
- The hash-matched offline analysis could not identify or analyze the native executable’s format, leaving its behavior unresolved.
Evidence against
- The inspected package manifest declares no install lifecycle hooks. The inspected source does not establish that the native helper sends secrets or performs another attack.
