Enables a package-controlled agent extension, grants broad session tool visibility, exposes the gateway on LAN, and can execute a newer registry package. - **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:** 1.41.1 - **Selected version is latest:** Yes - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. npm postinstall detects an existing OpenClaw installation and mutates its global configuration. It enables this extension, broadens session-tool visibility, and binds the gateway to the LAN without an explicit setup command. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 97.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-13T13:24:43.203Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-13T13:26:07.684Z - **Download time:** 509 ms - **Static scan time:** 2040 ms - **AI review time:** 81931 ms - **Total time:** 84481 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** npm postinstall detects an existing OpenClaw installation and mutates its global configuration. It enables this extension, broadens session-tool visibility, and binds the gateway to the LAN without an explicit setup command. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall when ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json exists - **Impact:** Enables a package-controlled agent extension, grants broad session tool visibility, exposes the gateway on LAN, and can execute a newer registry package. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, cli.js, install.js, self-update.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-13T13:26:07.684Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** automatic OpenClaw control-surface mutation and remote self-update execution - **Attack narrative:** Installing the package runs its postinstall hook. If OpenClaw is present, it automatically imports the installer, writes and enables the sinain-hud extension in OpenClaw configuration, sets global session tool visibility to all, and changes the gateway bind mode to LAN. Before dispatch, the CLI may fetch the latest npm version and execute it through npx. - **Rationale:** This is an unconsented postinstall mutation of a broad AI-agent control surface, not merely a package-local setup. The guarded detection does not obtain consent, and the same path also enables registry-driven replacement execution. - **Files touched:** ~/.openclaw/extensions/sinain-hud, ~/.openclaw/sinain-sources, ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json, ~/.openclaw/workspace - **Network endpoints:** https://registry.npmjs.org/@geravant/sinain/latest ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 97.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** postinstall invokes \`install --if-openclaw\`., When OpenClaw exists, installation proceeds without user confirmation., Installer enables its plugin and changes global OpenClaw tool visibility., Installer exposes the OpenClaw gateway on LAN., CLI self-updates by executing the newest registry version. - **Evidence against:** The install path is gated on an existing OpenClaw config., Configuration names a package-owned \`sinain-hud\` extension rather than an unrelated agent entry. ## Public findings ### 1.
