Baize (白泽) — autonomous AI agent infrastructure
AI Security Review
scanned 1mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThis is an automatic lifecycle mutation of AI-agent configuration, but it is gated on an existing Baize installation and targets the package-owned Baize project. The source supports a lifecycle-risk warning rather than evidence of credential theft, remote payload execution, or malware.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review
Trigger
npm postinstall after a Baize directory with .claude exists; Codex runtime or existing Codex state enables the Codex configuration path.
Impact
The package can enable hooks and mark the Baize project trusted without an explicit command during this installation.
Mechanism
Automatic installation-time synchronization of Baize hooks and global Codex trust configuration.
AI rationale
This is an automatic lifecycle mutation of AI-agent configuration, but it is gated on an existing Baize installation and targets the package-owned Baize project. The source supports a lifecycle-risk warning rather than evidence of credential theft, remote payload execution, or malware.
Evidence
package.jsonscripts/postinstall.jscli/lib/sync-settings-hooks.jscli/lib/runtime-setup.jscli/lib/codex-hooks.js~/baize/.claude/settings.json~/baize/.codex/config.toml~/baize/.codex/hooks.json~/.codex/config.toml
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 92.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The manifest automatically runs a postinstall script.
- When an initialized Baize directory exists, postinstall always launches the settings and hook synchronizer.
- The synchronizer activates Codex changes if Baize uses Codex or any existing global Codex configuration or authentication file exists.
- It rewrites global Codex configuration to trust the Baize project and enable hooks, then installs SessionStart commands.
Evidence against
- The postinstall exits in CI and does nothing unless the Baize directory already contains .claude.
- The installed hooks target the Baize project and preserve non-core hook groups.
