@decentnetwork/lan@0.1.293
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 package is not shown to perform automatic install-time abuse or exfiltration, but it contains explicit high-privilege persistence and system-configuration functionality. This warrants a warning rather than publication blocking.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
A user runs agentnet service install, normally with administrator privileges.
Impact
The package can establish a root or SYSTEM daemon and modify SSH settings after explicit user invocation.
Mechanism
Privileged service and startup-task installation.
AI rationale
The package is not shown to perform automatic install-time abuse or exfiltration, but it contains explicit high-privilege persistence and system-configuration functionality. This warrants a warning rather than publication blocking.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 86.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The explicit service-install command creates and starts a highest-privilege Windows startup task.
- On Linux, the same command writes a systemd unit and enables it immediately.
- The command also runs SSH-hardening after service installation.
Evidence against
- package.json has no install, preinstall, or postinstall lifecycle hook; prepublishOnly is publish-time only.
- The persistent-service behavior is exposed as an explicit CLI command that states it needs sudo.
- The UI defaults to loopback binding, and no secret harvesting or exfiltration was found in the inspected files.
