@netnodeag/kraftwerk@0.46.0
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-aiNo concrete malicious install-time or exfiltration behavior was found. Downgrade to a warning because project-controlled shell execution and remote code acquisition are real capabilities and a bundled minified asset limits complete static assurance.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
A user enables and starts a vibeable, triggers an inspector workflow, or opens a remote project.
Impact
A malicious project configuration or repository can cause code execution in the user’s project context.
Mechanism
Shell execution of project configuration, workflow launching, and Git cloning.
AI rationale
No concrete malicious install-time or exfiltration behavior was found. Downgrade to a warning because project-controlled shell execution and remote code acquisition are real capabilities and a bundled minified asset limits complete static assurance.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 72.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The distributed package includes an inspector and CLI, making its runtime control paths reachable after installation.
- The inspector launches a detached npx workflow process in the selected project.
- The inspector executes a dev command from a project vibeable configuration through a shell.
- Remote project resolution clones and hard-resets repositories supplied as remote specifications.
- Inspector agent editing writes agent configuration and system-prompt files into the selected project.
- The bundled editor asset is heavily minified and includes Unicode-control content, limiting confident source review of that artifact.
Evidence against
- package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook; its only lifecycle script is prepublishOnly.
- The shell command comes from an enabled project’s vibeable.yml and requires an inspector action, not package installation.
- No source inspected harvested credentials or sent environment or file contents to a remote endpoint.
- The inspected network-capable path is explicit Git remote cloning, not hidden exfiltration.
