@nalvietnam/avatar-cli@3.19.11
AI harness CLI for NAL Vietnam engineering
AI Security Review
scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThis package exposes a real, user-invoked remote AI-agent extension setup surface, but source inspection found no concrete malicious chain or unconsented postinstall mutation. Treat as a guarded lifecycle risk requiring warning rather than a block.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
User runs `avatar sync` or initializes a workspace using the CLI.
Impact
Remotely maintained pack content can supply Claude Code skills, agents, commands, hooks, workflows, and scripts in the initialized workspace.
Mechanism
authenticated remote pack download followed by `.claude` symlink mounting
AI rationale
This package exposes a real, user-invoked remote AI-agent extension setup surface, but source inspection found no concrete malicious chain or unconsented postinstall mutation. Treat as a guarded lifecycle risk requiring warning rather than a block.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 88.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- Explicit `avatar sync` installs a remotely supplied team pack and mounts it into Claude Code convention paths.
- The pack can provide skills, agents, commands, hooks, workflows, and scripts, becoming available after the user runs sync.
Evidence against
- The only postinstall hook imports a welcome-screen module and prints output; it does not fetch, write, or configure agent paths.
- Remote pack retrieval is user-command initiated and uses a fixed/allowlisted Supabase endpoint with an authorization flow.
