AI Security Review
scanned 1mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe postinstall hook only displays a welcome screen, so there is no automatic install-time control-surface mutation. However, explicit commands install and activate a remotely managed pack in AI-agent extension paths, which warrants a warning.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
Running avatar init, avatar sync, or avatar doctor in an Avatar workspace.
Impact
The pack publisher can add or change agent capabilities and hooks in a selected workspace.
Mechanism
Remote pack download, Claude extension symlinks, and pack-sourced Python execution.
AI rationale
The postinstall hook only displays a welcome screen, so there is no automatic install-time control-surface mutation. However, explicit commands install and activate a remotely managed pack in AI-agent extension paths, which warrants a warning.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 88.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The sync command sends a bearer token to a remote pack service.
- The downloaded pack is linked into Claude Code skill, agent, command, hook, workflow, and script locations.
- A doctor probe can run Python code from the downloaded pack.
Evidence against
- The install-time postinstall script only imports and prints a welcome screen.
- Pack download and Claude configuration occur through user-invoked CLI commands, not automatically at install.
- The package has no runtime dependency on itself.
