@factiii/runner@0.23.2

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

AI Security Review

scanned 11d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The scanner's high-risk labels are not supported by the inspected behavior: package.json has no consumer install lifecycle hook, pairing requires browser approval and user token entry, and the inspected credential requests target their respective services. The agent integration and tmux save behavior are bounded setup and local session-state operations.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review

Trigger

Explicit user commands such as setup, connect, or starting the runner activate the relevant behavior.

Impact

No unconsented credential exfiltration, install-time mutation, or malicious behavior was established.

Mechanism

The connect flow asks for a runner name, opens a browser approval URL, prompts for the returned token, and saves it. The agent helper adds a symlink within a workspace after reading its contract.

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Clean at 91.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for AI clean decision

package.json defines a prepublishOnly build and fetch hook, with no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook.
The CLI pairs through a user-entered browser approval flow and saves the returned runner token in its configuration.
The GitHub access token is sent to api.github.com for GitHub API requests.
The agent integration helper creates a workspace-local Claude skill symlink; its caller first reads the workspace contract.
The bundled tmux-resurrect save script records tmux session state and pane data locally.

Evidence against

The CLI contains dynamic import via Function, but the inspected use imports modules and does not establish attack behavior.
The manifest includes a prepublishOnly fetch step, which runs during publishing rather than consumer installation.
