@netnodeag/kraftwerk@0.45.0
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 shown to be malicious, but its explicit project-command execution and incompletely auditable minified inspector asset leave a real dual-use risk. There is no automatic lifecycle trigger or concrete malicious chain supporting a block.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
A user starts a vibeable development server or triggers a workflow from the inspector.
Impact
A malicious or untrusted project configuration can run with the inspector process environment and modify that project.
Mechanism
Shell execution of configured project commands and process launch in the project root.
AI rationale
The package is not shown to be malicious, but its explicit project-command execution and incompletely auditable minified inspector asset leave a real dual-use risk. There is no automatic lifecycle trigger or concrete malicious chain supporting a block.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 78.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The package exposes a CLI and bundles a large minified inspector asset, which limits complete source-level auditing of that asset.
- Remote workflow resolution clones a supplied Git source and can hard-reset its cached checkout.
- The inspector launches `npx kraftwerk run` in the consumer project when a run is triggered.
- The inspector runs a project-configured development command through a shell with inherited environment variables.
- The agent editor writes agent configuration and system-prompt files in the configured project directory.
Evidence against
- package.json has only a prepublishOnly script, not an install-time lifecycle hook.
- The manifest does not runtime-depend on its own package name.
- The reviewed code contains no confirmed credential collection, outbound secret upload, or hidden persistence.
- Shell and process execution are tied to explicit inspector actions and project workflow configuration.
