AI Security Review

scanned 25d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

Installing the package invokes postinstall, which automatically starts a persistent user daemon on macOS or Linux. That daemon can read AI-client credentials and make authenticated usage requests.

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

npm installation, including global installation on macOS or Linux

Impact

Creates a persistent user service and exposes available AI-service access tokens to package-controlled network requests.

Mechanism

postinstall persistence plus credential-backed runtime requests

Attack narrative

The npm postinstall path starts or restarts an always-on daemon without an explicit setup command. The daemon installs and enables a user service, then package runtime code reads local AI authentication material and uses it in outbound bearer-authenticated requests. The prompted shell-edit branch does not remove the automatic persistence behavior.

AI rationale

This is an automatic install-hook persistence chain with credential-accessing runtime behavior. The package mutates the user's agent execution environment and starts a long-running service without explicit post-install consent.
