AI Security Review
scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package has no install lifecycle hook, so the source does not meet the policy threshold for malicious install-hook abuse. Its user-invoked runtime persistence and self-update behavior warrant a warning.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
Running the Ouro CLI and its system setup or daemon-start paths.
Impact
The package can persist its command and daemon and replace its own runtime from the npm registry.
Mechanism
Runtime self-update, shell launcher installation, and LaunchAgent daemon setup.
AI rationale
The package has no install lifecycle hook, so the source does not meet the policy threshold for malicious install-hook abuse. Its user-invoked runtime persistence and self-update behavior warrant a warning.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 85.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- CLI system setup invokes a PATH installer that can update shell profiles and replace recognized Ouro launchers.
- Runtime setup installs the same package version with npm into a user home directory and activates it through a symlink.
- On macOS, the CLI writes and starts its own LaunchAgent daemon.
Evidence against
- The manifest exposes CLI binaries but contains no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook.
- Credential collection is part of explicit provider authentication and sends the GitHub token only to the GitHub API endpoint shown.
- No source evidence establishes secret exfiltration, arbitrary remote code execution, or foreign AI-agent configuration writes.
