Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installing the package on Windows automatically establishes a persistent scheduled task and starts it. It also silently installs system dependencies. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall on Windows - **Impact:** A package-installed watchdog launches clauth at user logon and can add software without an explicit setup command. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, cli/assets/watchdog.ps1 - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-14T04:29:11.475Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** elevated scheduled-task persistence and silent dependency installation - **Attack narrative:** The manifest automatically invokes scripts/postinstall.js. On Windows, it copies a PowerShell watchdog into AppData, creates a hidden logon-triggered task at the highest run level, requests UAC elevation if needed, and starts the task. The watchdog continually checks a local port and launches clauth when unavailable. The hook also uses winget with silent and agreement-acceptance flags to install rclone and PowerShell. This is unconsented install-time persistence and system mutation. - **Rationale:** This package performs concrete, unconsented postinstall persistence and silent software installation on Windows. The behavior is automatic rather than an explicit user setup command. - **Files touched:** %APPDATA%\\clauth\\watchdog.ps1, Windows Task Scheduler task ClautWatchdog, cli/assets/watchdog.ps1 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The package runs a postinstall hook automatically., On Windows, that hook copies a watchdog script, creates a hidden elevated logon task, and starts it., The installed watchdog repeatedly launches the clauth daemon when its local health check fails., The same automatic hook silently installs rclone and PowerShell through winget., The install script registers a highest-run-level logon task described as a clauth daemon watchdog., The watchdog launches \`clauth serve start\` when its health check reports the daemon is unavailable. - **Evidence against:** No credential harvesting or external exfiltration was confirmed in the inspected install hook. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @lifeaitools/clauth@2.15.18. - Avoid installing @lifeaitools/clauth@2.15.18. 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. ## Public findings ### 1.
