AI Security Review
scanned 2d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiNo confirmed malicious attack surface was established. The package is a first-party Rig harness plugin with user-invoked agent runtime, shell, file, and native-tool capabilities that are scoped by Rig runtime paths.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
User invokes Rig harness agent/runtime commands or configures the runtime tool router.
Impact
Provides controlled shell/file/git/runtime support for Rig tasks; no unconsented install/import execution or exfiltration found.
Mechanism
package-aligned agent harness and runtime tooling
Rationale
Static inspection found powerful agent-runtime primitives, native binaries, environment handling, and network calls, but they are exposed as explicit Rig harness functionality and bounded by runtime/workspace configuration. No lifecycle hook, import-time payload, credential exfiltration, persistence backdoor, or unconsented AI-agent control-surface mutation was confirmed.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 82.0% confidence as Benign with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for block
- Ships native runtime binaries under native/*/rig-shell and native/*/rig-tools.
- dist/src/tooling/claude-router.js exposes shell/file MCP tools for agent runtimes.
- dist/src/agent-harness/rig-agent.js hydrates runtime env and reads configured .env secrets for the task runtime.
Evidence against
- package.json has no lifecycle scripts, so no install-time execution was found.
- Default export is dist/src/plugin.js; risky shell/file behavior is invoked by rig-agent/runtime router commands, not import side effects.
- Shell workdir is constrained inside RIG_TASK_WORKSPACE in dist/src/tooling/claude-router.js.
- Known-hosts writes are limited to runtimeHome/.ssh/known_hosts with GitHub host keys for git operations.
- Network use seen is package-aligned: npm registry search and configured Rig server steering URL.
