Multi-channel AI gateway with extensible messaging integrations

AI Security Review

scanned 15d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The source review found no concrete malicious behavior. The scanner's flagged source locations correspond to extension-directory enumeration, explicit vault initialization, test code, and bundled glyph data; the automatic dependency patch is narrowly scoped to cost passthrough.

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

Package installation triggers the declared lifecycle scripts; explicit CLI use triggers vault initialization.

Impact

The inspected behavior does not establish credential theft, broad agent configuration changes, or another concrete attack.

Mechanism

The scripts print an install warning, modify specific cost-handling code in an installed AI client dependency, or create missing wiki files under the configured vault.

AI rationale

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Clean at 91.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for AI clean decision

package.json defines a preinstall warning and postinstall compatibility scripts; it has no runtime self-dependency.
The preinstall helper detects the package manager and prints a warning.
The audit code reads the package's configured extensions directory to list installed plugins.
The CLI writes missing wiki files under the configured vault during initialization.
The flagged Unicode sequence is embedded glyph data in the bundled control UI asset.
The flagged Python file is a test module, and the plugin SDK file contains an import-side-effect contract helper.

Evidence against

The postinstall scripts run automatically; one patches specific cost fields in an installed third-party AI client dependency. The inspected behavior is narrow and does not establish an attack.
