AI harness CLI for NAL Vietnam engineering
AI Security Review
scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiNo credential exfiltration, stealthy persistence, or unconsented postinstall AI-control-surface mutation was found. Remote first-party AI-pack setup with permissive verification and a prepare Git-hook change merits a warning under the stated policy.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Local/VCS lifecycle `prepare`, or explicit `avatar init` / `avatar sync`.
Impact
A compromised or substituted remote pack could affect the configured project AI-harness surface; its documented digest check is non-blocking.
Mechanism
Remote AI-pack installation plus project-local Claude/Git configuration.
AI rationale
No credential exfiltration, stealthy persistence, or unconsented postinstall AI-control-surface mutation was found. Remote first-party AI-pack setup with permissive verification and a prepare Git-hook change merits a warning under the stated policy.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 90.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- `prepare` changes the invoking repository’s Git hooks path.
- `avatar init`/`sync` download and extract a remote AI pack; documented integrity verification is permissive.
- The CLI explicitly provisions project-local Claude/AI-harness artifacts.
Evidence against
- `postinstall` only imports and prints a welcome screen, with CI/opt-out guards.
- No install-time network request, credential harvesting, or command execution is present in `bin/postinstall.js`.
- AI-project mutations occur through named CLI setup commands, not the postinstall hook.
