@decentnetwork/lan@0.1.294
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-aiThis is a high-impact networking and persistence-capable package, so it warrants a warning. The observed behavior is explicitly CLI-triggered rather than automatic during installation, and no concrete malicious chain was established.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
A user runs agentnet service install or starts the real TUN service.
Impact
The package can persist as a root service and modify host networking and SSH policy when explicitly invoked.
Mechanism
Privileged service installation and virtual-network configuration.
AI rationale
This is a high-impact networking and persistence-capable package, so it warrants a warning. The observed behavior is explicitly CLI-triggered rather than automatic during installation, and no concrete malicious chain was established.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 84.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The package exposes a CLI that can make privileged, persistent system changes.
- Its service-install path writes and enables a root system service, then invokes SSH configuration changes.
- Its route manager changes virtual adapters, routes, and firewall rules.
- The daemon can detach and relaunch itself after a runtime restart request.
- The UI permits identity signing only from localhost.
- The bundled console imports child-process spawning.
Evidence against
- package.json has only a prepublishOnly lifecycle hook, not an install-time hook.
- No credential harvesting, secret exfiltration, or remote payload execution was confirmed.
- The persistent service and network changes are reached through explicit CLI operations, not package installation.
