runlot@0.1.0-rc.184
runlot CLI — deploy apps and manage PostgreSQL
AI Security Review
scanned 3d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe reviewed source uses credentials with the selected API origin and performs login only through the CLI command. Crash reporting is disclosed, has an opt-out, and scrubs command arguments and secrets; the flagged dynamic code generation is Ajv schema validation.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
A user runs the CLI; login saves credentials for the selected API, and non-API errors may trigger crash reporting.
Impact
No malicious impact was established from the reviewed source.
Mechanism
Credential lookup is keyed by API origin. Crash reports contain scrubbed exception details and command information and are sent to the configured Sentry endpoint.
AI rationale
The reviewed source uses credentials with the selected API origin and performs login only through the CLI command. Crash reporting is disclosed, has an opt-out, and scrubs command arguments and secrets; the flagged dynamic code generation is Ajv schema validation.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 91.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The manifest exposes dist/index.js as the runlot CLI and lists build, test, and typecheck scripts.
- The default API is runlot’s dash.runlot.io; saved credentials are selected by API origin, and RUNLOT_TOKEN is used explicitly.
- The login command obtains a session for its selected API and saves it for that API.
- Crash reports are disclosed, can be disabled with RUNLOT_TELEMETRY=0, and scrub command arguments and secrets.
- Crash reports send scrubbed exception messages, stacks, and command information to Sentry; this is disclosed crash telemetry.
- The new Function match is Ajv schema-validator code generation, not execution of remote responses.
Evidence against
- The scanner flagged credential and command-output exfiltration, remote-response execution, and credential redirection, but the reviewed paths did not substantiate those behaviors.
- The package ships a native runtime binary whose contents were not readable in the provided analysis; its presence alone does not establish malicious behavior.
