Multi-channel AI gateway with extensible messaging integrations

AI Security Review

scanned 15d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

Inspected source supports package maintenance and explicit wiki initialization; the flagged source paths do not establish malicious behavior. The install-time patch is narrow and guarded, and no concrete attack surface was identified.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source

Trigger

npm package installation triggers the declared lifecycle hooks; wiki files are created when its initialization function is called.

Impact

No credential theft, unauthorized agent control-surface mutation, or other confirmed attack effect was established.

Mechanism

The inspected code checks plugin directories and creates missing wiki files. The dependency patch skips absent or unexpected targets and applies a targeted compatibility change.

AI rationale

Evidence

package.jsondist/audit.nondeep.runtime-D-73mQLk.jsdist/cli--uxxCICI.jsscripts/postinstall-patch-pi-ai.mjs

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Clean at 86.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for AI clean decision

The preinstall hook only emits a package-manager warning; the postinstall hook runs bundled-plugin maintenance and a targeted compatibility patch.
The audit code lists installed plugin directories under the application state directory for inspection.
The wiki initialization code creates missing wiki files and records the created paths.
The flagged control-ui substring is a Unicode-character matching pattern in bundled frontend code.
The flagged Python file is a test module, and the plugin contract file imports plugin test utilities.
The compatibility patch skips missing or unrecognized targets and is limited to its declared replacement anchors.
