@decentnetwork/lan@0.1.300
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 privileged networking tool with explicit persistence and host-configuration features, so it warrants a warning. Its only lifecycle hook is prepublishOnly, and source inspection found no automatic install-time malicious behavior.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
The user runs agentnet up --real-tun or agentnet service install with required privileges.
Impact
Can alter host networking, SSH settings, and startup configuration when explicitly invoked.
Mechanism
Creates network routes and can install a persistent privileged service.
AI rationale
This is a privileged networking tool with explicit persistence and host-configuration features, so it warrants a warning. Its only lifecycle hook is prepublishOnly, and source inspection found no automatic install-time malicious behavior.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 82.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The manifest has no registry install lifecycle hook; its only lifecycle script is prepublishOnly.
- The UI is started by an explicit agentnet ui command and describes itself as a local peer-management page.
- The route manager executes operating-system networking commands, which is a privileged capability.
- The CLI can create an elevated Windows startup task and start it when the user runs service install.
- The daemon can detach and relaunch its own current process after an IPC restart request.
- The console spawns only an operating-system clipboard utility with fixed command selection.
Evidence against
- No preinstall, install, or postinstall hook runs on package installation.
- No credential harvesting, secret-file collection, or exfiltration was found in the inspected high-risk files.
- Persistence and SSH configuration changes are reached through explicit network/service commands, not npm installation.
- The inspected restart path relaunches the existing argv rather than downloading or executing a remote payload.
