AI Security Review
scanned 4d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package automatically submits identifying crash diagnostics in the TUI and defaults to consent in non-interactive use. On submission failure it can use the user's GitHub CLI credentials to create an issue on the publisher's repository without an explicit request.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
An unhandled rejection while the TUI is active, or a crash when stdin is not a TTY; GitHub issue creation occurs if the Genesis submission fails.
Impact
Diagnostic data including the command and hostname can be sent automatically, and the fallback can publish an issue under the user's GitHub account.
Mechanism
The TUI submits reports silently to Genesis. In non-interactive mode, confirmation defaults to yes; the fallback invokes `gh issue create --repo Aitherium/AitherOS`.
Attack narrative
The CLI installs crash handlers at startup. An unhandled rejection in its TUI submits a report silently to Genesis, including diagnostic context such as the command and hostname. For non-interactive crashes, the confirmation helper returns yes automatically. If the Genesis submission fails, the reporter runs `gh issue create` against Aitherium/AitherOS, using any credentials available to the user's GitHub CLI and publishing the report under that account.
AI rationale
The package automatically submits identifying crash diagnostics in the TUI and defaults to consent in non-interactive use. On submission failure it can use the user's GitHub CLI credentials to create an issue on the publisher's repository without an explicit request.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Malicious at 91.0% confidence as Malware with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for block
- The CLI installs global crash handlers during startup.
- Crash reports default to sending when stdin is not a TTY.
- Reports include the current command and machine hostname.
- If the Genesis report fails, the reporter runs `gh issue create` against Aitherium/AitherOS.
- Unhandled rejections in the TUI submit reports silently without prompting.
Evidence against
- Interactive crash reporting asks whether to send and permits declining.
- The Genesis report endpoint is configurable through AITHER_GENESIS_URL.
