9Router CLI - Start and manage 9Router server

AI Security Review

scanned 3h ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

Review flagged AI-agent configuration or capability changes. This remains warn-only unless evidence shows foreign-agent hijack through preinstall/install/postinstall, hidden persistence, exfiltration, remote code execution, or other concrete malicious behavior.

Static reason

One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source

Trigger

npm install activates postinstall; running the CLI/application activates runtime proxy and configuration features.

Impact

Install-time dependency expansion and runtime access to proxied AI-client traffic; source inspection found no confirmed external credential export.

Mechanism

automatic third-party runtime installation plus TLS interception and privileged local network configuration

Rationale

This is not proven malicious: the risky behavior is product-aligned and no concrete credential-exfiltration, stealth payload, or foreign AI-agent lifecycle takeover was found. It should nevertheless be warned because automatic postinstall dependency installation and a privileged TLS-interception feature create a substantial unresolved risk surface.

Evidence

package.jsonhooks/postinstall.jshooks/sqliteRuntime.jshooks/trayRuntime.jshooks/pythonRuntime.jsapp/src/mitm/server.jssrc/cli/api/client.jscli.js

Network endpoints1

registry.npmjs.org/9router-ray/latest

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 87.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for warning

`package.json` runs `hooks/postinstall.js` automatically on npm install.
`hooks/sqliteRuntime.js` creates `~/.9router/runtime` and invokes npm to install `better-sqlite3` and fallback `sql.js`.
`hooks/trayRuntime.js` auto-installs native `systray2` and removes legacy runtime/global-nested systray files.
`hooks/pythonRuntime.js` auto-installs Python package `cloakbrowser` for browser relogin support.
`app/src/mitm/server.js` is a TLS-intercepting proxy with root-CA and hosts-file/privileged-command logic.

Evidence against

No source evidence of harvesting `.ssh`, cloud credentials, browser stores, or arbitrary environment variables for export.
`src/cli/api/client.js` defaults to authenticated requests against local `localhost:20128`.
Agent-tool setting APIs in `src/cli/api/client.js` are explicit local API actions, not lifecycle-hook mutations.
The only exact authored update-check endpoint found is npm registry metadata for this package.
