AI Security Review

scanned 10d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

Windows npm install registers a highest-privilege logon task that keeps relaunching the clauth daemon from a hidden PowerShell script, and it also installs extra system packages. A separate user command writes this package's Claude skill and MCP client entry into the user profile.

Static reason

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

Trigger

npm install on Windows runs postinstall automatically. clauth install is a later explicit command.

Impact

A consumer install can leave an admin-level restart loop and extra software without a separate consent step. Agent config changes wait for the user to run clauth install and stay limited to this package's skill and MCP entry.

Mechanism

postinstall copies watchdog.ps1 into the user clauth directory, registers scheduled task ClautWatchdog at logon with RunLevel Highest, starts it, winget-installs rclone and PowerShell 7, and invokes a terminal-profile installer for a fixed local repo. The explicit install command copies the bundled skill into .claude/skills and writes ~/.mcp.json.

AI rationale

The npm postinstall hook persists a highest-privilege hidden logon task and installs extra Windows software without a separate opt-in, which is dangerous install-time persistence even though the task only restarts this daemon. Claude skill and MCP writes are real but stay behind the explicit clauth install command, so this is a warning rather than a publish block.

Evidence

package.jsonscripts/postinstall.jscli/assets/watchdog.ps1cli/commands/install.js%APPDATA%\clauth\watchdog.ps1~/.claude/skills/clauth~/.mcp.json

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 78.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.

Evidence for warning

npm install runs scripts/postinstall.js from the package.json postinstall hook.
On Windows that hook registers logon scheduled task ClautWatchdog, launching hidden PowerShell with ExecutionPolicy Bypass.
The task is registered at RunLevel Highest, with a UAC elevation attempt if the direct call fails.
The same hook silently winget-installs rclone and PowerShell 7 and spawns codevelop install-terminal against hardcoded C:\Dev\regen-root.
cli/assets/watchdog.ps1 loops and hidden-starts clauth serve start when the local daemon ping fails.
The explicit clauth install command copies .clauth-skill into the user .claude/skills directory and merges a clauth MCP server into ~/.mcp.json.

Evidence against

Skill and MCP writes are inside the clauth install command, not the npm postinstall hook.
The watchdog only restarts this package daemon, logs its actions, and the hook prints status instead of hiding the install.
The package does not depend on its own name, and the hook contains no eval or outbound credential send.
