@decentnetwork/lan@0.1.292
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 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe source contains real privileged persistence and host-configuration capabilities, so it warrants a warning. They are explicitly invoked CLI features rather than automatic package-install behavior, and the inspected source does not establish malicious intent.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
A user runs the service-install, harden-ssh, or real-TUN CLI functionality with administrative privileges.
Impact
Can persist a privileged daemon and change host networking or SSH access policy.
Mechanism
Creates a persistent service and executes operating-system network and SSH configuration commands.
AI rationale
The source contains real privileged persistence and host-configuration capabilities, so it warrants a warning. They are explicitly invoked CLI features rather than automatic package-install behavior, and the inspected source does not establish malicious intent.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 86.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The published manifest exposes CLI entry points and has only a prepublish-only lifecycle hook.
- The explicit service-install command writes and enables a root systemd service, then invokes SSH hardening.
- The route manager runs operating-system networking commands to create and configure a TUN interface.
- A daemon IPC operation can detach and relaunch the same privileged daemon process.
- The local UI signs an origin- and nonce-bound identity message only after a localhost request.
- The console starts a platform clipboard command with user-provided text.
Evidence against
- There is no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook in the manifest.
- The persistence and SSH changes are reached through an explicit CLI service-install action, not package installation.
- The UI rejects non-local requests before serving its identity-signing routes.
- No source reviewed shows credential harvesting, secret exfiltration, remote payload retrieval, or self-dependency.
