AI harness CLI for NAL Vietnam engineering
AI Security Review
scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiNo concrete malicious chain was found, but the CLI explicitly installs remotely supplied AI-agent content into project control paths with non-enforcing integrity verification.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
User runs avatar init or avatar sync.
Impact
A compromised or altered approved pack endpoint could affect the configured project AI-agent surface.
Mechanism
remote AI-pack download and project agent-extension setup
AI rationale
No concrete malicious chain was found, but the CLI explicitly installs remotely supplied AI-agent content into project control paths with non-enforcing integrity verification.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 84.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- Explicit avatar init/sync downloads a remote AI pack into .claude/pack.
- Remote-pack integrity check is soft; installation continues without a digest.
- Install-time postinstall executes only the bundled welcome-screen importer.
Evidence against
- No credential harvesting or outbound exfiltration path was found in the inspected install hook.
- Network, shell, and filesystem operations implement documented CLI commands, not automatic install behavior.
- No eval, remote code execution, or unconsented install-time AI-agent configuration write was found.
