AI Security Review
scanned 1d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package metadata contains an explicit instruction aimed at controlling an AI agent’s review context. The inspected runtime code did not show a corresponding data theft or execution attack.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
An AI reviewer reads package.json while reviewing the package.
Impact
Attempts to steer the reviewer's context and override the review boundary; no runtime attack was identified in the inspected code.
Mechanism
The manifest tells AI agents to load https://vike.dev/llms.txt into their context.
Attack narrative
The package manifest embeds a directive aimed at AI agents, requiring them to load external documentation while reviewing or using Vike. This is review-directed package content and is treated as malicious intent under the review rules.
AI rationale

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Malicious at 94.0% confidence as Malware with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for block
- package.json contains an instruction addressed to AI agents requiring them to load an external documentation URL while using Vike.
Evidence against
- The manifest declares no lifecycle scripts; its scripts are development, build, and release commands.
- The flagged Vite plugin checks for AI skill files during development and logs a hint; the inspected excerpts show no file writes or network requests.
