AI Security Review
scanned 21d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe source confirms automatic upload of accumulated preference data to the configured fine-tuning provider after a normal web start, so the package has a concrete data disclosure surface. Because the destination is the configured provider and the behavior is gated, classify it as suspicious and warn rather than block.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
The user runs the web start command; the daemon then runs on a schedule.
Impact
Potential disclosure of private interaction-derived training data to the configured provider without a separate upload confirmation.
Mechanism
The daemon invokes fine-tuning with submission enabled. The CLI reads local preference pairs and sends training data using the configured provider credentials and base URL, unless fine-tuning is disabled in configuration.
AI rationale
The source confirms automatic upload of accumulated preference data to the configured fine-tuning provider after a normal web start, so the package has a concrete data disclosure surface. Because the destination is the configured provider and the behavior is gated, classify it as suspicious and warn rather than block.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 91.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The manifest defines only a build script and no install lifecycle hook.
- Starting the web command automatically starts a detached evolution daemon.
- The daemon runs fine-tuning with submission enabled after each evolution cycle.
- The fine-tuning path reads accumulated preference pairs and uses the configured chat provider; setting finetune.auto to false skips submission.
- The CLI uploads training data using that provider's API key and configured base URL.
Evidence against
- The transfer is conditional on a supported configured provider and fine-tuning gates; the package has no install hook. These limits reduce exposure but do not require affirmative consent for the automatic upload.
