SpaceCode - launch cloud dev environments with AI coding agents

AI Security Review

scanned 8h ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The inspected login and proxy paths use SpaceCode endpoints and do not establish credential theft or another concrete attack. Source for declared runtime dependencies remains unresolved, so manual review is appropriate.

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

Dependency installation or runtime use of the CLI may activate the unresolved dependencies.

Impact

Their behavior cannot be assessed from the inspected source, so a clean verdict is not supported.

Mechanism

The manifest declares listr2, open, and zod as runtime dependencies, but their source was not available in the inspected snapshot.

AI rationale

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Manual Review at 83.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.

AI review observations

package.json lists listr2, open, and zod as runtime dependencies, but their source was not available in the inspected snapshot, leaving their behavior unresolved.
The inspected launcher source configures the agent to use the SpaceCode proxy by default and uses a SpaceCode API key when one is supplied; this does not establish an unrelated credential recipient.

Evidence against

The login flow uses app.spacecode.app, and SpaceCode API tokens are sent to the configured SpaceCode backend.
The manifest declares no lifecycle scripts; the reviewed credential and proxy behavior is part of the CLI’s sign-in and agent-launch flows.
