@growthub/cli@0.14.14

CLI control plane for Growthub Local and Agent Workspace as Code: export, fork, inspect, operate, sync, and optionally activate governed AI workspaces.

AI Security Review

scanned 18h ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

No confirmed malicious attack surface is established by source inspection. The package is an AI/workspace CLI with explicit commands that scaffold its own workspace assets and optionally call package-aligned hosted APIs.

Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
User runs growthub/paperclipai CLI commands.
Impact
No unconsented install-time execution or foreign AI-agent control hijack identified.
Mechanism
User-invoked workspace scaffolding, hosted API calls, git operations, telemetry, and local agent adapters.
Rationale
Static inspection shows a feature-rich Growthub workspace/agent CLI, but the scanner-highlighted primitives are user-invoked and package-aligned rather than install-time, stealthy, or unconsented control-surface mutation. Optional telemetry and hosted API calls are visible product behavior and no credential harvesting/exfiltration path was confirmed.

Decision evidence

public snapshot
AI called this Clean at 88.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for block
  • dist/index.js sends optional telemetry to PostHog including hosted user id/email when a PostHog API key is configured.
  • dist/index.js exposes user-invoked local agent harness commands, including documented --yolo modes.
  • Bundled worker kit contains workers/custom-workspace-operator/CLAUDE.md and SKILL.md agent instructions copied by starter/kit commands.
Evidence against
  • package.json has no install/preinstall/postinstall/prepare lifecycle scripts.
  • dist/index.js is the bin entrypoint; risky writes are under package-owned homes like ~/.paperclip or .growthub-fork and occur from CLI commands.
  • No lifecycle-triggered writes to .claude, CLAUDE.md, MCP configs, shell startup files, VCS hooks, or foreign agent control surfaces were found.
  • GitHub, Growthub bridge, skills.sh, OpenAI/Anthropic, and PostHog network use is command/feature aligned, not stealth credential exfiltration.
  • Dynamic import in resolver-loader loads local resolver files from the generated workspace server directory, not remote code.
