Install/update an index-first AI workspace for Claude Code, OpenAI Codex and omp (Oh My Pi).

AI Security Review

scanned 15d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

Source inspection found agent configuration changes reachable through the explicit UKit install flow, which warrants a warning under the agent configuration policy. No source evidence establishes a malicious attack or an automatic npm lifecycle trigger.

Static reason

No blocking static signals were detected.

Trigger

A user runs the UKit install command.

Impact

Claude Code hook registrations or project environment settings can change; the reviewed behavior does not establish credential exposure or remote code execution.

Mechanism

The install pipeline removes invalid hook registrations from home and project settings and may add managed resilience defaults to project settings when a custom gateway is detected.

AI rationale

Evidence

src/core/runInstallPipeline.jssrc/core/repairBrokenHooks.jssrc/core/gatewayResilienceEnv.js

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 78.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.

Evidence for warning

The manifest exposes UKit through a CLI and lists no npm install lifecycle hook.
Running the install pipeline repairs Claude hook registrations in user and project settings.
The repair routine examines home-level and project-level Claude settings files.
When a custom gateway is detected, the install pipeline can write managed environment defaults to project Claude settings.

Evidence against

Hook repair only removes invalid registrations; its comments state that hook script files are left untouched.
Gateway defaults are written through a backup-then-write path.
