@clawos-dev/clawd@0.2.554
Standalone clawd daemon — Claude Code (and future Codex) session server over WebSocket
AI Security Review
scanned 1mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package does not automatically run at npm install, but its active CLI exposes an owner-triggered, package-controlled remote shell bootstrap without integrity verification. That is a concrete dangerous capability, not sufficient evidence of automatic malware behavior.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review; source fingerprint signature matched known malicious package; routed for review
Trigger
An authenticated owner invokes engine:connectPool with a pool API key while Codex is available.
Impact
A party controlling the portal response can run arbitrary commands with the daemon user's permissions and access its environment and supplied key.
Mechanism
The handler fetches /api/setup.sh, starts bash with inherited process environment plus the API key, and writes the fetched response to Bash standard input.
AI rationale
The package does not automatically run at npm install, but its active CLI exposes an owner-triggered, package-controlled remote shell bootstrap without integrity verification. That is a concrete dangerous capability, not sufficient evidence of automatic malware behavior.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 93.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The CLI fetches a setup script from a package-controlled portal and executes its returned text with Bash.
- The execution environment inherits the daemon environment and adds the caller-supplied pool key.
- The owner-authorized pool-connection RPC invokes that remote-script path after accepting an API key.
- This is a remotely mutable code path with no source-visible integrity check on the fetched script.
Evidence against
- package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall lifecycle hook.
- The remote-script path requires the owner-only engine:connectPool RPC and an API key supplied in that request.
