AI Security Review

scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The flagged primitives are consistent with packaging a self-hosted LLM application. Source inspection found no concrete malicious behavior despite the automatic dependency setup.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review

Trigger

Installation runs dependency setup; a configured user search request can call its selected provider.

Impact

No unsolicited data collection, foreign configuration mutation, or payload execution was found.

Mechanism

Bundled dependency setup and configured web search.

AI rationale

The flagged primitives are consistent with packaging a self-hosted LLM application. Source inspection found no concrete malicious behavior despite the automatic dependency setup.

Evidence

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Clean at 90.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for AI clean decision

The install hook automatically installs bundled server and collector dependencies.
The web-search feature sends configured provider keys only when that feature is invoked.

Evidence against

The install hook targets bundled package subdirectories, not consumer project or agent configuration.
No self-dependency, obfuscated payload, secret harvesting, or unsolicited exfiltration was found.
Search requests are feature-specific and use configured search-provider credentials.
