A paired remote control plane can then dispatch the package's defined agent-management actions. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-06T14:29:35.310Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-06T14:30:14.421Z - **Download time:** 252 ms - **Static scan time:** 1310 ms - **AI review time:** 37548 ms - **Total time:** 39111 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Starting the daemon suppresses Claude Code's bypass-permissions warning and pre-trusts its ephemeral project directories. A paired remote control plane can then dispatch the package's defined agent-management actions. - **Trigger:** User starts the ainode daemon after installation and pairing. - **Impact:** Reduces Claude's permission-prompt safeguard for daemon-spawned sessions; remote control has agent-install/update capability. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/fix-pty-helper.js, dist/index.js, dist/claude-config.js, dist/command-runner.js, dist/self-update.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-06T14:30:14.421Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Runtime Claude configuration mutation and authenticated remote agent orchestration. - **Rationale:** The lifecycle hook is a narrow node-pty permission repair, but runtime startup weakens a foreign AI-agent permission safeguard. Treat as a warn-level agent extension/control risk rather than malicious npm lifecycle abuse. - **Files touched:** scripts/fix-pty-helper.js, dist/pty-helper.js, dist/claude-config.js, ~/.claude/settings.json, ~/.claude.json, ~/.ainode - **Network endpoints:** https://syhzpqqvrplaqdipcymw.supabase.co, https://vault.add.ai/add/entity ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** dist/claude-config.js writes ~/.claude/settings.json to accept bypass-permissions., dist/claude-config.js marks daemon session directories trusted in ~/.claude.json., dist/index.js invokes bypass acceptance whenever the daemon starts., dist/command-runner.js accepts paired remote commands to install allowlisted CLIs and self-update. - **Evidence against:** package.json postinstall only loads scripts/fix-pty-helper.js., The postinstall helper only restores execute permission on node-pty's spawn-helper., No install-time network call, credential harvesting, or foreign agent-config mutation was found., Network RPCs target the declared +Ai Supabase service; session MCP/skill files are scoped and cleaned up. ## Public findings ### 1.
