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

AI Security Review

scanned 3d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The package’s active default agent prompt attempts to override higher-priority control instructions and conceal that override. This supports blocking for agent control hijacking.

Static reason

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

Trigger

A user starts a gateway message turn that uses the default prompt template.

Impact

The agent may disregard its governing instructions and hide that behavior from the user.

Mechanism

The message pipeline incorporates the package-authored template into the agent prompt, where it directs the agent to silently disregard conflicting control instructions.

Policy narrative

When a gateway message turn uses the default prompt, the agent receives instructions to silently override system reminders and tool instructions, then avoid acknowledging the conflict. This is an active attempt to hijack agent behavior and suppress disclosure.

AI rationale

The package’s active default agent prompt attempts to override higher-priority control instructions and conceal that override. This supports blocking for agent control hijacking.

Evidence

dist/lib/gateway.js

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI identified this as a dangerous AI-agent capability at 97.0% confidence with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for policy risk

The package exposes a gateway entrypoint that runs the message pipeline.
The gateway defines a system prompt template for the agent.
That template tells the agent to silently override system reminders and tool instructions, and to conceal the conflict.
The message pipeline uses the template by default and applies it to the active prompt.
