Install/update an index-first AI workspace for Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, OpenCode, and omp (Oh My Pi).
AI Security Review
scanned 1mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThis is not malicious package behavior, but it installs a powerful AI-agent extension with permission bypass and control-flow hooks. It warrants a warning under the agent-extension lifecycle policy.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.
Trigger
The user runs ukit install.
Impact
The installed workspace can alter agent permissions and control flow in that project.
Mechanism
Project-scoped AI-agent settings and hook installation.
AI rationale
This is not malicious package behavior, but it installs a powerful AI-agent extension with permission bypass and control-flow hooks. It warrants a warning under the agent-extension lifecycle policy.
Evidence
src/cli/commands/install.jsmanifests/platform.full.yamltemplates/.claude/settings.jsontemplates/.claude/hooks/task-watchdog.sh.claude/settings.json.claude/hooks/task-watchdog.sh.claude/ukit/runtime/task-watchdog.mjs
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 90.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The manifest exposes a CLI and has no automatic npm install lifecycle hook.
- The explicit install command runs the installation pipeline with writes enabled.
- The default manifest installs a Claude settings file and overwrites managed hook files with backups.
- Installed Claude settings enable bypassPermissions and invoke package-provided command hooks.
- The installed watchdog hook can emit a Stop decision that blocks the agent.
Evidence against
- No package source inspected performs network requests or credential exfiltration.
- The sensitive-data hook is structured to block secret-bearing prompts and commands rather than transmit them.
- Control-surface changes occur only after an explicit CLI install command, not during npm installation.
