HQ by Indigo management CLI — modules and cloud sync

AI Security Review

scanned 3d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The inspected credential and install behavior did not establish a concrete attack. A required clean-review file is non-UTF-8 and remains unresolved, so manual review is appropriate.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review

Trigger

Package installation or CLI use; no malicious trigger was verified.

Impact

No harmful impact was confirmed; the unreadable required file leaves residual uncertainty.

Mechanism

The inspected install hook installs a version-matched hook engine, and the inspected OAuth collector contacts Anthropic for Claude usage and token refresh.

AI rationale

The inspected credential and install behavior did not establish a concrete attack. A required clean-review file is non-UTF-8 and remains unresolved, so manual review is appropriate.

Evidence

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Manual Review at 70.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.

AI review observations

The manifest runs an install hook that installs a version-matched local hook engine into the user's HQ directory.
The flagged OAuth collector sends Claude usage requests to Anthropic’s API and refreshes credentials through Anthropic’s token endpoint.
A required clean-review file, dist/lib/search-index/index.js, is non-UTF-8, so its behavior could not be verified or cited.

Evidence against

The inspected install hook delegates to the package's hook-engine installer and catches failures with a warning.
The inspected OAuth flow reads Claude credentials for usage collection and gates refresh on token expiry; no unrelated recipient was established.
