snyk library and cli utility
AI Security Review
scanned 1mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe automatic binary download is package-aligned, constrained to fixed Snyk endpoints, and integrity-checked. Inspected required bundle paths provide no evidence of credential theft, persistence, destructive actions, or remote code execution beyond the intended CLI payload.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Package installation runs the declared postinstall hook.
Impact
No confirmed malicious impact or unconsented broad control-surface modification was established.
Mechanism
The bootstrap selects a platform executable, downloads it from fixed package-aligned hosts, and rejects it when its SHA-256 value differs from the bundled expected value.
AI rationale
The automatic binary download is package-aligned, constrained to fixed Snyk endpoints, and integrity-checked. Inspected required bundle paths provide no evidence of credential theft, persistence, destructive actions, or remote code execution beyond the intended CLI payload.

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 postinstall invokes its included bootstrap wrapper.
- The bootstrap obtains configured download locations and a local executable path before downloading.
- The wrapper uses Snyk-owned download hosts and checks a SHA-256 value before retaining a download.
- The inspected bundled JavaScript is archive-handling code, and the required NuGet package is an embedded archive entry.
