## Verdict summary
**Blocked & quarantined** — Creates an elevated persistent process and installs additional system software without an explicit package command.

- **Verdict:** Malicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Block
- **Firewall policy:** Matched malicious
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Install Hook Abuse
- **Selected version:** 2.15.12
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions.

AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

Installing the package on Windows automatically attempts to create and start a privileged, hidden at-logon watchdog. The watchdog persistently restarts the package daemon.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Installing the package on Windows automatically attempts to create and start a privileged, hidden at-logon watchdog. The watchdog persistently restarts the package daemon.

- **Trigger:** npm installation on Windows

- **Impact:** Creates an elevated persistent process and installs additional system software without an explicit package command.

- **Evidence paths:** scripts/postinstall.js, cli/assets/watchdog.ps1

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-11T23:00:26.565Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** Postinstall scheduled-task persistence with hidden PowerShell execution

- **Attack narrative:** The npm postinstall hook runs without the user invoking a clauth setup command. On Windows it copies a PowerShell watchdog, registers it to run at logon using hidden execution-policy bypass and highest privileges, then starts it. The watchdog runs forever and launches the clauth daemon whenever the localhost health check fails. The same install hook also silently installs rclone and PowerShell through winget if they are missing. This establishes unconsented install-time persistence and system mutation.

- **Rationale:** The package performs automatic privileged persistence and dependency installation from a postinstall hook. These actions are concrete install-hook abuse regardless of the watchdog's stated local-service purpose.

- **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall.js, cli/assets/watchdog.ps1, %APPDATA%\\clauth\\watchdog.ps1

- **Network endpoints:** http://127.0.0.1:52437/ping

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 97.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for block:** The manifest runs a postinstall script automatically during npm installation., The postinstall script copies a watchdog and registers an at-logon scheduled task that runs hidden with execution-policy bypass and highest privileges., The installed watchdog loops indefinitely and starts the clauth daemon when its local endpoint is unavailable., The postinstall script silently invokes winget to install PowerShell and rclone when absent.

- **Evidence against:** No external credential-exfiltration endpoint was confirmed in the inspected install-time code., The watchdog script shown only polls and starts a localhost service.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @lifeaitools/clauth@2.15.12.

- Avoid installing @lifeaitools/clauth@2.15.12. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies.
- Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe.
- If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment.
