runlot@0.1.0-rc.177
runlot CLI — deploy apps and manage PostgreSQL
AI Security Review
scanned 5d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe CLI’s credential flow is scoped to the selected API origin, and its error reporting is disclosed with an opt-out and scrubbing of arguments and secrets. The flagged dynamic code construction is part of AJV’s schema validator, and I found no malicious credential or command-output exfiltration chain.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
CLI invocation; crash reporting occurs after a non-API error.
Impact
No malicious impact identified in the reviewed source.
Mechanism
The CLI uses credentials scoped to the configured API origin and sends scrubbed error reports to Sentry. No credential redirect, command-output exfiltration, or remote-response execution chain was established.
AI rationale
The CLI’s credential flow is scoped to the selected API origin, and its error reporting is disclosed with an opt-out and scrubbing of arguments and secrets. The flagged dynamic code construction is part of AJV’s schema validator, and I found no malicious credential or command-output exfiltration chain.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 91.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The package exposes a CLI entry point and declares no install lifecycle scripts.
- Runlot credentials are selected by API origin, preventing credentials for one origin from being used for another.
- Crash reports are disclosed to users, can be disabled, and strip command arguments and secrets before sending.
- Crash reporting runs on CLI errors; the bundle’s dynamic function construction is AJV schema-validator code generation.
Evidence against
- The CLI reads its own RUNLOT_TOKEN or credentials file to authenticate with its configured Runlot API.
- The CLI sends scrubbed crash reports to a Sentry endpoint.

Command Output Exfiltration
Source executes local commands and sends command output to an external endpoint.
