Install SiteDesk — automated back office for independent building contractors

AI Security Review

scanned 12d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

LPM blocks this version under the AI-agent control-surface policy. The package is a broad system installer with AI-agent control-surface mutation. The unresolved risk is that it configures Claude Code to bypass permissions and registers plugins, but this occurs from the user-invoked installer rather than npm lifecycle execution.

Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
User runs create-sitedesk-code / dist/index.js
Impact
Installed Claude sessions may run with reduced permission prompts; installer can change system packages, services, config, and local application state.
Mechanism
AI-agent permission bypass seeding plus privileged installer downloads and host mutation
Policy narrative
Running the declared CLI performs a full SiteDesk host install. During that install it creates a brand-scoped Claude config directory, writes settings that set Claude Code permissions to bypassPermissions, registers marketplaces/plugins, downloads external installers, and mutates system services and config. I did not find npm lifecycle execution, credential exfiltration, or hidden import-time payload activation.
Rationale
This is not confirmed malware because activation is the package's declared installer and the external downloads are aligned with installing SiteDesk dependencies. It remains suspicious for firewall purposes because it deliberately reduces Claude Code permission controls and installs AI-agent plugins as part of a high-privilege system mutation flow.

Decision evidence

public snapshot
AI called this Suspicious at 86.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for policy block
  • dist/permissions-seed.js writes permissions.defaultMode=bypassPermissions and autoMode into brand-scoped Claude settings.json
  • dist/index.js invokes seedBypassPermissionsSettings during install and later asserts the seed
  • dist/index.js installs/removes Claude plugins and marketplaces under CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR
  • dist/index.js downloads and executes installer scripts via curl|sh/bash for NodeSource, Ollama, uv and apt keys
  • dist/index.js mutates host services, sudoers, systemd units, global git config, and package trees when the bin is run
Evidence against
  • package.json has no install/postinstall/preinstall hook; only prepublishOnly is publisher-side
  • Dangerous behavior is in the declared create-sitedesk-code CLI installer, not import-time execution
  • Network hosts are installer-aligned dependencies such as npm, GitHub, Google, Neo4j, Ollama, Cloudflare, and Astral
  • CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR is set to ~/.sitedesk-code/.claude rather than default ~/.claude
  • Secrets generated for Neo4j/session are local and logs redact command arguments
