@decentnetwork/lan@0.1.273
Private virtual LAN for self-hosted services and AI agents, built on Elastos Carrier. NAT-traversal, name service, ACL, all over a peer-to-peer mesh — no public IP required.
AI Security Review
scanned 3mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiNo source evidence supports intentional malware or install-time abuse, but the privileged IPC design creates a concrete, high-impact local file-exfiltration vulnerability. Warn rather than block because persistence requires explicit user service installation.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
Operator runs `agentnet service install`; another locally unprivileged user connects to the daemon socket.
Impact
Local privilege boundary bypass can exfiltrate root-readable files through the package's peer network.
Mechanism
unauthenticated world-writable privileged IPC with arbitrary-file read
AI rationale
No source evidence supports intentional malware or install-time abuse, but the privileged IPC design creates a concrete, high-impact local file-exfiltration vulnerability. Warn rather than block because persistence requires explicit user service installation.
Evidence
package.jsondist/daemon/ipc.jsdist/daemon/server.jsdist/cli/commands.js
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 94.0% confidence as Critical Vulnerability with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- dist/daemon/ipc.js chmods the daemon socket to 0666.
- IPC accepts unauthenticated requests from any socket client.
- dist/daemon/server.js fileSend reads caller-supplied paths with fs.readFile.
- The explicit service installer runs the daemon as root.
Evidence against
- package.json has no install/postinstall hook; only prepublishOnly.
- Service persistence is exposed only through an explicit CLI command.
- No hidden eval, remote payload loader, or foreign AI-agent config mutation found.
