AI Security Review

scanned 21d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

Inspected source establishes guarded agent asset synchronization that can persistently alter agent instructions after explicit hub setup. This warrants a behavior-specific warning under the agent integration policy, rather than a malware publication block.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source

Trigger

The user connects a hub and runs synchronization or starts the server with automatic syncing enabled.

Impact

Later hub updates can change persistent instructions consumed by agents on connected machines.

Mechanism

Saved hub configuration enables recurring asset reconciliation and memory mirroring, with digest checks protecting unrelated existing mirrors.

AI rationale

Evidence

dist/bin.mjsCLAUDE.mdAGENTS.md

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 91.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.

Evidence for warning

The hub connection command uses the URL and token explicitly supplied through CLI flags.
Saved hub settings default to automatic syncing; the running server repeats asset synchronization every 15 minutes.
Memory synchronization targets Codex and OpenCode configuration roots and maps CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md into shared agent memory.
The memory writer creates its destination directory and atomically writes supplied asset contents.
Mirror updates require an absent destination or a digest matching the previously managed content; unrelated existing content is refused.
Asset synchronization returns without changes when no hub is configured.

Evidence against

package.json contains no npm lifecycle hooks or runtime self-dependency.
No covert credential export or malicious install behavior was established by the inspected source.
The indicated client locations contain file-icon metadata and memory-tool schemas, rather than install-time configuration writes.
