spacecode@2.16.10

SpaceCode - launch cloud dev environments with AI coding agents

AI Security Review

scanned 3d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and the inspected credential flow uses SpaceCode’s configured backend and auth service. The scanner’s agent-configuration locations show repository scanning and trust-aware source reading, not an unconsented configuration mutation or credential export.

Static reason

One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review; source fingerprint signature matched known malicious package; routed for review

Trigger

The CLI or MCP server is invoked; login occurs when a user requests authentication.

Impact

No confirmed attack effect was established by the inspected source.

Mechanism

The CLI uses its configured SpaceCode backend for authenticated requests. Repository instructions are read by the REPL and checked against trust status before loading.

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 has CLI entrypoints and dependencies but no lifecycle scripts.
The flagged dist/index.js location scans source files; it does not show an agent configuration write.
The flagged dist/repl.mjs location reads project Claude command files; its repo-source handling checks trust status before loading sources.
The API client sends its token as a bearer credential to its configured backend URL; the default backend is backend.spacecode.app.
Login accepts a supplied SpaceCode API key or uses device login at the SpaceCode auth service.
The MCP entrypoint connects a server over stdio.
