Your second check is exactly why someone would check if it’s AI-generated.

I check whether it is safe to install. Are there security or privacy concerns?

Let’s review some basic security: the CIA triad stands for Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability. Confidentiality is never a guarantee with AI-generated systems because the developers are usually spending even less time thinking about the code than normal since AI does the thinking. Plus AI systems are getting owned left and right (litellm anyone?). Integrity is never a guarantee because the developers don’t understand the system the AI slopped together and AI is only good at unit tests in some cases, not integration or end-to-end. That requires a system perspective. Finally, availability is usually worse with AI slop because AI is trained on really bad software that is rarely optimized. That requires vertical scaling out of the box.

Looking at this codebase, the integration cover hits three services and not totally at that. There are no security tests. There are no published security findings. There are no security standards in the contribution guidelines. While there is a disclosure process, there are no automated baseline tests available.

So why exactly did you move beyond your second check? This project has no security. Remember, that’s your guideline even before constructive criticism.

Edit: I just realized you’re the maintainer and you’re yelling at someone for asking about AI stuff when you can’t be bothered to do basic security. Worse yet, you’ve attempted to hide your slop instead of making users aware of the extra security issues. You have to understand I wouldn’t have commented on this if you hadn’t included a basic check you went out of your way to screw up. Glass houses and all that.
