@aui.io/apollo@0.1.56
Apollo operator console — CLI + interactive TUI
AI Security Review
scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package has a real install-time persistence behavior and a conditional nested npm install, so it should be warned rather than marked clean. Static inspection found no self-dependency chain, secret exfiltration, or concealed remote payload.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
npm installation, through the postinstall lifecycle hook.
Impact
Future interactive shells evaluate the Apollo shell-init command; installation may also alter package-local OpenTUI dependencies.
Mechanism
Postinstall shell-profile persistence and conditional dependency repair.
AI rationale
The package has a real install-time persistence behavior and a conditional nested npm install, so it should be warned rather than marked clean. Static inspection found no self-dependency chain, secret exfiltration, or concealed remote payload.
Evidence
package.jsonscripts/setup-shell.mjsscripts/ensure-opentui.mjs~/.zshrc~/.bashrc~/.bash_profilenode_modules/@opentui
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 90.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The automatic postinstall runs two setup scripts.
- One setup script appends an eval-based Apollo command to existing user shell startup files.
- The other setup script can remove its bundled OpenTUI directory and run npm install during installation.
Evidence against
- No runtime dependency on this package's own name was found.
- The shell setup is visible, idempotent, and has environment-variable opt-outs.
- No credential collection, external exfiltration endpoint, or concealed payload execution was confirmed.
