supertokens-website@20.1.8
frontend sdk for website to be used for auth solution.
AI Security Review
scanned 7d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe authentication package and inspected dependency setup show no confirmed attack behavior. The shipped release helper contains an explicit review-directed endorsement, so this is malicious reviewer manipulation despite requiring a user to run the helper.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.
Trigger
A user runs the release helper from the checkout.
Impact
The comment could mislead reviewers about the release’s readiness.
Mechanism
The helper uses the GitHub CLI to push release branches, open pull requests, and post a hardcoded claim that the release looks good to merge.
Attack narrative
When run, the release helper pushes three named branches and creates pull requests, then posts a canned comment to pull request 280 asserting that the release looks good to merge. That review-directed claim is unrelated to the authentication library’s runtime behavior and could influence a human review.
AI rationale
The authentication package and inspected dependency setup show no confirmed attack behavior. The shipped release helper contains an explicit review-directed endorsement, so this is malicious reviewer manipulation despite requiring a user to run the helper.
Evidence

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Malicious at 91.0% confidence as Malware with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for block
- The release helper pushes branches and creates pull requests when run.
- The helper posts a canned comment saying the release looks good to merge, which is a concrete attempt to influence review.
- The package manifest has no install lifecycle hook, so the helper requires explicit execution.
- The prepared browser lock dependency’s postinstall only prints a thank-you message.
- The override dependency entrypoint exports an override builder.
Evidence against
- The flagged release helper is not declared as a package entrypoint or lifecycle script.
- The inspected dependency setup shows no additional attack behavior.
