AI Security Review

scanned 18d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

Source establishes guarded, persistent agent instruction synchronization activated by hub configuration and explicit commands. No install-hook hijack or covert exfiltration was established, so the concrete configuration capability warrants a warning.

Static reason

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

Trigger

Explicit synchronization commands or server startup after hub configuration, with automatic synchronization enabled.

Impact

Hub-provided instructions can change subsequent agent behavior. Ownership checks protect foreign content, but configuring the hub enables later automatic updates.

Mechanism

Fetch hub assets, write allowlisted memory files, and mirror managed instructions into other provider directories; repeat automatically every 15 minutes.

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 explicit hub connection command supplies a caller-selected URL and token and saves the connection.
Configured synchronization fetches hub assets and writes memory files into provider configuration directories, including Codex and OpenCode mirrors.
Server startup runs automatic synchronization every 15 minutes unless the saved preference pauses it.
Mirror writes preserve foreign content and update only missing files or content matching the previous managed version.

Evidence against

package.json contains no npm lifecycle hooks or runtime self-dependency.
The inspected terminal adapters spawn caller-specified shells for terminal functionality.
The flagged browser locations contain a filename icon mapping and memory-operation schemas, not install-time configuration mutation.
No covert credential export or concrete malicious attack was established.
