AI Security Review

scanned 21d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

Source establishes explicit CLI agent configuration and subsequent automatic instruction synchronization, which warrants a behavior-specific warning under the supplied policy. The scanner's malicious label is not supported by concrete attack evidence inspected here.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review

Trigger

Explicit hub configuration followed by CLI synchronization or server startup with automatic synchronization enabled.

Impact

Changes to shared instructions can affect future agent behavior; configuring synchronization enables subsequent automatic updates until paused.

Mechanism

Received memory content is written to managed instruction files and mirrored into Codex and OpenCode directories, subject to content ownership checks.

AI rationale

Evidence

dist/bin.mjsAGENTS.mdCLAUDE.md

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 90.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.

Evidence for warning

package.json exposes dist/bin.mjs as the CLI and defines no install lifecycle hooks or runtime self-dependency.
The explicit hub connect command supplies the user's URL and token; stored synchronization defaults to automatic sharing.
The memory synchronization driver writes received content into instruction files and mirrors memory into Codex and OpenCode configuration directories.
Server startup runs automatic asset synchronization, repeating every 15 minutes unless paused.
Mirror writes preserve foreign content: only missing files or files matching the previous managed content are updated.

Evidence against

No concrete covert credential export or malicious installation behavior was established.
The indicated index client location maps filenames to icons; the preview client location defines memory-tool schemas.
