Standalone clawd daemon — Claude Code (and future Codex) session server over WebSocket
AI Security Review
scanned 1mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package exposes a guarded mechanism that installs and executes extension-provided commands, while lacking npm lifecycle hooks and requiring an owner principal. Static inspection does not show a concrete covert payload or unconsented installation attack.
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 extension installation from a channel.
Impact
An owner-approved extension can execute arbitrary shell commands with the daemon process environment.
Mechanism
The CLI writes archive entries into its extensions directory, opens the extension, and runs its manifest command with sh -c.
AI rationale
The package exposes a guarded mechanism that installs and executes extension-provided commands, while lacking npm lifecycle hooks and requiring an owner principal. Static inspection does not show a concrete covert payload or unconsented installation attack.
Evidence
dist/cli.cjs
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 88.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The CLI installs a supplied extension archive and opens it immediately.
- The extension runtime executes the installed manifest's start command through a shell with inherited environment variables.
- This is an owner-only RPC capability, but the supplied archive can contain executable extension content.
Evidence against
- package.json declares no npm install lifecycle hook.
- The installer verifies the supplied archive hash and rejects unsafe archive paths.
- The installation handler requires an owner principal.
