RLM-based CLI chat wrapper for Claude with external history context management

AI Security Review

scanned 3mo ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The package is not concretely malicious, but it exposes high-impact agentic shell and network capabilities without per-tool confirmation. Its persistence feature is explicit and package-owned.

Static reason

One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source

Trigger

User starts/configures an agentic gateway or explicitly runs cumulus-gateway setup.

Impact

Prompt injection or untrusted agent input could cause commands and network requests with the gateway user's permissions.

Mechanism

LLM-directed Bash and WebFetch tools; opt-in user-service installation.

AI rationale

The package is not concretely malicious, but it exposes high-impact agentic shell and network capabilities without per-tool confirmation. Its persistence feature is explicit and package-owned.

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 92.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.

Evidence for warning

dist/lib/tools/index.js exposes Bash and WebFetch to every agentic turn.
dist/lib/tools/bash.js executes model-provided shell commands in the selected cwd.
dist/lib/tools/web-fetch.js permits arbitrary HTTP methods, URLs, headers, and bodies.
dist/gateway/setup.js can install persistent LaunchAgent/systemd services after an explicit setup prompt.

Evidence against

package.json has no preinstall/install/postinstall hook; prepare only invokes husky.
Service setup is reached only through explicit cumulus-gateway setup and asks for confirmation.
No source evidence of credential harvesting, covert exfiltration, obfuscated payloads, or foreign AI-agent config writes.
