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

AI Security Review

scanned 2h ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

LPM treats this as warn-only first-party agent extension lifecycle risk. The package provides runtime agent-launch and AI-agent configuration materialization capabilities. It can write project-local Claude Code/Pi configuration when its materializer services are invoked, but no npm install-time trigger was found.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.

Trigger

Rig host/session runtime invokes plugin materialization or agent-wrapper services.

Impact

Configured plugin hook commands can execute through the host AI-agent platform; source does not establish an unconsented install-time or exfiltration chain.

Mechanism

Project-local AI-agent hook/settings materialization and controlled provider process launch.

Rationale

This is not concrete malware: no install-time execution or proven malicious chain was found. Its project-local AI-agent configuration and command-launch capabilities warrant a warning as a guarded extension-lifecycle risk.

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 81.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.

Evidence for warning

`dist/src/session-hook-materializer-service.js` writes command hooks to `.claude/settings.json`.
`dist/src/pi-settings-materializer.js` mutates project `.pi/settings.json` package configuration.
`dist/src/skill-materializer.js` creates/removes plugin-marked `.pi/skills` directories.
`dist/src/agent-harness/agent-wrapper.js` spawns configured agent-provider commands with runtime environment secrets.
Package ships executable `native/*/rig-shell` and `native/*/rig-tools` artifacts.

Evidence against

`package.json` has no `preinstall`, `install`, `postinstall`, or other lifecycle scripts.
No import-time execution is present in inspected entry modules; materializers require explicit service invocation.
Hook materializer preserves non-plugin-owned hooks and removes only marker-owned entries.
Network code is limited to configured Rig steering API and npm registry package search.
No `eval`, `Function`, VM execution, credential exfiltration endpoint, or destructive broad-path logic found.
