runlot@0.1.0-rc.89
runlot CLI — deploy apps and manage PostgreSQL
AI Security Review
scanned 1mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package is a user-invoked deploy CLI with no install lifecycle. The indicated agent-config code only prints setup instructions for an explicit mcp install command and does not write foreign agent files.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
A person runs the runlot binary, including the mcp install subcommand.
Impact
No unconsented install-time mutation, credential theft, or remote payload execution was identified.
Mechanism
installText builds path and JSON display strings, and mcp install writes them to stdout.
AI rationale
The package is a user-invoked deploy CLI with no install lifecycle. The indicated agent-config code only prints setup instructions for an explicit mcp install command and does not write foreign agent files.
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 88.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- package.json exposes the runlot CLI bin and only build, test, and typecheck scripts, with no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook and no runtime self-dependency.
- The flagged agent helper returns display strings for Claude Code, Cursor, and Claude Desktop config paths and a suggested MCP JSON snippet.
- runlot mcp install validates the client name, prints that text with console.log, and returns without writing those agent files.
Evidence against
- The bundle can spawn processes, write project and local config files, and send crash reports to Sentry after a user runs the CLI.
- Those behaviors come from explicit commands or crash handling, not from an npm install hook.

Critical
Credential Exfiltration
Source appears to send environment or credential material to an external endpoint.
