Hardware-bound credential vault for the LIFEAI infrastructure stack

AI Security Review

scanned 26d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

Installing the package on Windows automatically creates and starts a privileged logon persistence task. The task runs a copied watchdog that restarts the clauth daemon in a hidden window.

Static reason

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

Trigger

npm install executes postinstall on Windows.

Impact

A package-controlled daemon persists across logons, while the install hook can also add system software without an explicit user command.

Mechanism

Install-hook persistence through a privileged scheduled PowerShell task.

Attack narrative

The package declares postinstall, so installation automatically invokes its script. On Windows the script copies a watchdog into AppData, registers an at-logon scheduled task configured to run hidden with the highest run level, and attempts to obtain UAC elevation. The watchdog loops indefinitely and relaunches the clauth daemon when its local health check fails. The same lifecycle hook also installs rclone and PowerShell through winget. This is unconsented install-time persistence and system mutation.

AI rationale

The automatic postinstall hook establishes privileged, hidden persistence and installs extra software on Windows. These actions are concrete install-hook abuse regardless of the package's stated purpose.
