@netnodeag/kraftwerk@0.38.1
Open-source agentic workspace for teams — where people and AI agents get work done together: agents (Claude Code, Codex, Pi), skills, shared knowledge, repeatable workflows, and deterministic verification
AI Security Review
scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package is not demonstrated malware, but its unpinned runtime npx execution creates a supply-chain execution risk. The Docker credential forwarding is explicit but increases the impact of a compromised workflow or resolved release.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
A user starts a workflow from the inspector, optionally with sandbox or SSH enabled.
Impact
A changed registry release or untrusted workflow could execute with the invoking project's permissions and supplied credentials.
Mechanism
Runtime npx resolution and optional credential forwarding to Docker.
AI rationale
The package is not demonstrated malware, but its unpinned runtime npx execution creates a supply-chain execution risk. The Docker credential forwarding is explicit but increases the impact of a compromised workflow or resolved release.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 84.0% confidence as Critical Vulnerability with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The inspector launches `npx kraftwerk run` without a no-install flag, so a project lacking a local binary can resolve and execute a registry release at runtime.
- The Docker runner deliberately passes configured environment values and, when requested, an SSH agent socket into a workflow container.
Evidence against
- The manifest has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook; its only lifecycle entry is prepublishOnly.
- The npx launch is reached through an inspector run request, not package installation or import.
- The registry request only checks the package's latest version through a local UI endpoint.
- The flagged SQL and VBScript assets are bundled syntax highlighters, not package execution paths.
- No source evidence shows credential collection, secret transmission, covert persistence, or reviewer-directed text.
