@factiii/runner@0.10.2

Factiii Runner, run Board AI agents on a machine you control. Pairs with the Factiii web/mobile clients over WebRTC.

AI Security Review

scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The malicious scanner classification is not supported by the source: the risky integration is explicit user-invoked, first-party, and package-aligned. It merits a warning for persistent agent extension behavior, not a publish block.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.

Trigger

User runs factiii-runner setup/start and provisions a workspace.

Impact

Adds persistent agent-CLI integrations and hooks under the user account.

Mechanism

User-scoped agent plugin and MCP registration for a local runner.

AI rationale

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 93.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for warning

Explicit workspace provisioning installs a Factiii plugin globally for Claude and Codex.
Provisioning registers user-scoped MCP endpoints for both agent CLIs.
The bundled plugin hooks run on agent events, though they gate on a tmux pane and local Redis socket.

Evidence against

package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook; prepublishOnly is publish-time.
The runner is activated through explicit setup/start commands.
Plugin metadata identifies it as Factiii’s board-terminal integration.
No concrete credential exfiltration or remote payload execution was confirmed.
