@h-rig/harness-plugin@0.0.6-alpha.191

First-party agent-harness provider capability plugin for Rig.

AI Security Review

scanned 2d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

No confirmed malicious attack surface was established. The package provides a Rig agent harness with native runtime tools, shell/file capabilities, runtime env hydration, and optional operator steering, all gated by explicit Rig runtime commands or plugin use.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.

Trigger

User invokes Rig harness/plugin commands or rig-agent runtime wrapper.

Impact

Expected runtime command execution, file tooling, env hydration, and optional Rig server steering within configured task/runtime context.

Mechanism

agent runtime orchestration with native helper tools

Rationale

Static inspection found high-risk primitives, but they are package-aligned Rig harness capabilities reached by explicit runtime/plugin invocation and there is no install-time execution, hidden persistence, credential exfiltration, or hardcoded attacker endpoint. The scanner's persistence/backdoor signal appears to be a false positive from runtime SSH known_hosts setup and controlled agent orchestration.

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Clean at 86.0% confidence as Benign with medium false-positive risk.

Evidence for block

Ships native rig-shell/rig-tools binaries under native/*.
User-invoked agent wrapper can spawn provider commands and poll RIG_SERVER_URL steering messages.
runtime-secrets maps AI/GitHub/AWS/Linear env keys into runtime env.

Evidence against

package.json has no install/preinstall/postinstall lifecycle scripts.
Default export is a Rig harness plugin; dangerous operations are command/runtime-tool capabilities, not import-time behavior.
dist/src/agent-harness/rig-agent.js writes GitHub known_hosts inside runtimeHome and sets GIT_SSH_COMMAND, not host persistence.
dist/src/tooling/file-tools.js and shell-tools.js copy bundled/native tools only when materializing Rig runtime tools.
Network use is package-aligned: npm registry search and optional Rig server steering from env.
No hardcoded exfiltration endpoint, credential harvesting loop, destructive host action, or unconsented agent control-surface mutation found.
