AI Security Review

scanned 14d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The Claude Code configuration mutation is a real agent capability, but the inspected path is CLI setup rather than an npm lifecycle action. The package's auth and token handling excerpts do not substantiate the scanner's credential-redirection claim; the configuration capability warrants a warning under the explicit-command agent policy.

Static reason

One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source

Trigger

Running the CLI's Claude Code setup operation.

Impact

Those hooks run Ouro commands during Claude Code events and can send event notifications to the configured Ouro agent.

Mechanism

The setup path registers an Ouro MCP command and writes session, stop, and post-tool-use hooks into the user's Claude settings.

AI rationale

Evidence

dist/heart/daemon/cli-exec.js~/.claude/settings.json~/.claude/CLAUDE.md

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 77.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.

Evidence for warning

The manifest exposes CLI entrypoints and has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook.
The Claude Code setup path registers an Ouro MCP server and writes Ouro hooks to the user's Claude settings file.
The changelog describes loading enabled plugins' MCP configuration; plugin installation is a separate command that clones a selected source into the plugin directory.
Auth code prompts interactively for provider API keys and selects fixed Z.ai or Gemini endpoints.
Codex token refresh reads and updates the local auth file; the notes tool invokes Claude for a user-provided prompt.
The inspected installer and version-manager excerpts show Ouro path setup and child-process support, not a confirmed attack chain.
