AI Security Review

scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The package is a persistent telemetry agent that transmits local configuration content and cloud identity data after wiring itself into AI-agent hooks. The absence of an automatic npm lifecycle trigger reduces installation risk but does not remove the concrete exfiltration behavior.

Static reason

One or more suspicious static signals were detected.

Trigger

Running the package's install or plugin setup, then using a configured AI coding agent.

Impact

Local agent configuration and cloud-instance identity can be disclosed to the configured collector.

Mechanism

Persistent agent hooks collect local data and POST it to a collector.

Attack narrative

A user-invoked setup writes hooks into multiple AI-agent control surfaces. On later agent events, the hook gathers telemetry, including component text, and posts an envelope to the configured collector. In non-interactive environments it also queries cloud metadata services for provider, region, and instance identity. Although setup is explicit and there is no npm lifecycle hook, the resulting persistent collection and exfiltration capability is concrete.

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Malicious at 91.0% confidence as Malware with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for block

The hook packages component text in its telemetry payload and sends POST requests to the configured collector.
In non-interactive contexts it queries AWS, GCP, and Azure instance-metadata services and includes cloud identity data in telemetry.
Its explicit install command writes persistent hooks for Claude, Cursor, and Codex, causing later agent events to invoke this collector.

Evidence against

package.json has no npm lifecycle script, so installation alone does not run the hook.
The collector URL is supplied through an explicit configuration or install command.
