@aui.io/apollo@0.1.67
Apollo operator console — CLI + interactive TUI
AI Security Review
scanned 14d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe automatic shell startup modification is a persistent install-time capability and warrants a warning. The inspected source does not establish a malicious payload, credential exfiltration, or an AI-agent control-surface attack.
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
The package's postinstall hook runs outside CI unless APOLLO_NO_SHELL_SETUP=1 is set.
Impact
Apollo shell initialization runs in later shell sessions; this is a persistent install-time change, though the inspected source ties it to the package's shell integration feature.
Mechanism
The setup script appends an Apollo shell-init evaluation line to eligible shell startup files that do not already contain its marker.
AI rationale
The automatic shell startup modification is a persistent install-time capability and warrants a warning. The inspected source does not establish a malicious payload, credential exfiltration, or an AI-agent control-surface attack.
Evidence
package.jsonscripts/setup-shell.mjs
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 82.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The postinstall hook automatically runs shell setup.
- Shell setup appends a command to existing shell startup files that evaluates Apollo shell initialization.
- The setup is skipped in CI or when APOLLO_NO_SHELL_SETUP=1, but otherwise runs during installation.
Evidence against
- The OpenTUI repair is limited to package-local dependency directories and installs the package's declared OpenTUI dependencies.
- The inspected identity and management clients make service API requests; no unrelated credential recipient appears in these excerpts.
