@nalvietnam/avatar-cli@3.20.0
AI harness CLI for NAL Vietnam engineering
AI Security Review
scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiNo malicious install-time behavior was found, but the package explicitly provisions remote AI-agent assets and has a documented non-blocking integrity fallback. Flag as a warning for first-party agent-extension lifecycle risk.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
User runs `avatar init` or `avatar sync`.
Impact
A trusted backend-supplied pack can influence the configured project AI environment; digest verification is non-blocking when unavailable.
Mechanism
explicit remote AI-pack installation and project agent-asset setup
AI rationale
No malicious install-time behavior was found, but the package explicitly provisions remote AI-agent assets and has a documented non-blocking integrity fallback. Flag as a warning for first-party agent-extension lifecycle risk.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 87.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- Explicit `avatar init`/`sync` downloads a Supabase pack into `.claude/pack/`; README says integrity verification is soft and installation can continue without a backend digest.
- The package is an AI-harness CLI that provisions project `.claude` assets and manages tools under user-invoked commands.
Evidence against
- The only install-time hook conditionally imports a local welcome-screen module and prints output; it performs no network, file, or child-process action.
- The executable bin only imports the bundled CLI after the user runs `avatar`.
- No hidden install-time credential harvesting, exfiltration, destructive action, or remote code execution was found.
