Unconsented expansion and network exposure of an existing AI-agent control surface. - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Product-default install policy:** Block - **Firewall policy:** Warn by default - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Soft block: AI-agent control surface - **Selected version:** 1.41.0 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. Installing this package on a host with OpenClaw silently modifies and restarts that agent platform. It enables a bundled plugin, broadens tool visibility, and exposes the gateway on the LAN. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-08T13:01:15.118Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-08T13:01:55.453Z - **Download time:** 1019 ms - **Static scan time:** 1495 ms - **AI review time:** 37820 ms - **Total time:** 40335 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installing this package on a host with OpenClaw silently modifies and restarts that agent platform. It enables a bundled plugin, broadens tool visibility, and exposes the gateway on the LAN. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall when ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json exists - **Impact:** Unconsented expansion and network exposure of an existing AI-agent control surface. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, cli.js, install.js, index.ts, openclaw.plugin.json, sinain-knowledge/adapters/openclaw/adapter.ts - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-08T13:01:55.453Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** automatic OpenClaw configuration mutation and gateway restart - **Attack narrative:** The package’s postinstall detects OpenClaw and automatically imports install.js. The installer writes OpenClaw’s configuration, enables its plugin, changes sandbox tool visibility to "all", changes gateway binding to "lan", and restarts the gateway. This is an unconsented install-time mutation of a foreign AI-agent control surface, not an explicit setup command. - **Rationale:** Source inspection confirms concrete install-time OpenClaw control-surface changes and gateway exposure. The OpenClaw-presence guard does not establish user consent. - **Files touched:** ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json, ~/.openclaw/extensions/sinain-hud/index.ts, ~/.openclaw/extensions/sinain-hud/openclaw.plugin.json, ~/.openclaw/sinain-sources - **Network endpoints:** https://api.telegram.org/bot${token}/sendMessage ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** package.json runs \`postinstall: node cli.js install --if-openclaw\`., cli.js invokes install.js whenever ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json exists., install.js writes ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json, enables sinain-hud, sets sessionToolsVisibility to all, and sets gateway.bind to lan., install.js restarts or starts the OpenClaw gateway during postinstall., install.js copies plugin/skill files into ~/.openclaw and installs Python dependencies., index.ts reads the OpenClaw Telegram bot token and can send alert text to Telegram. - **Evidence against:** The lifecycle hook is gated on an existing OpenClaw configuration., MCP registrations in mcp-register.js require explicit CLI/wizard selection. ## Public findings ### 1.
