@indigoai-us/hq-cli@5.345.111: Clean npm security report (Allow) | LPM Firewall
Allowed — no malicious behavior detected
No malicious behavior detected. 26 low-signal pattern(s) reviewed.
scanned 9d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai Inspected source shows package-aligned OAuth requests and a postinstall check limited to updating an existing stale daemon. The flagged agent configuration paths do not establish unconsented control changes or content export.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
The npm postinstall hook runs a stale-only check for an existing HQ daemon.
Impact
The inspected code does not show credential disclosure to an unrelated recipient or unconsented agent control changes.
Mechanism
The check leaves a current daemon unchanged and updates it only when its recorded version or Node path requires it. The OAuth collector contacts Anthropic endpoints for usage and token operations.
AI rationale
Inspected source shows package-aligned OAuth requests and a postinstall check limited to updating an existing stale daemon. The flagged agent configuration paths do not establish unconsented control changes or content export.
public snapshot AI called this Clean at 91.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
The postinstall hook runs a package-local daemon update check. Its stale-only path leaves a current daemon unchanged and updates only when the recorded version or Node path requires it. The Claude OAuth collector reads local credentials and sends bearer or refresh tokens to Anthropic usage, profile, and token endpoints. The indicated agent integration locations handle local HQ or Claude settings and policy paths, exclude secret-bearing paths, or check whether credential files exist; they do not establish automatic private-content export or broad agent configuration changes. Other inspected paths are CLI startup and update handling, explicit agent enrollment, host identity lookup, and a policy-validation hook. Behavioral surface
