Install SiteDesk — automated back office for independent building contractors

AI Security Review

scanned 9d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

LPM treats this as warn-only first-party agent extension lifecycle risk. No confirmed malware chain, but the CLI is a high-privilege SiteDesk installer that mutates host services and a brand-scoped Claude Code control surface. It seeds bypassPermissions and registers plugins only when the user runs the bin, not during npm install.

Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review
Trigger
User runs the declared create-sitedesk-code CLI.
Impact
Can install services/packages, write systemd/launchd/Neo4j/Ollama/Cloudflared state, and alter the brand-scoped Claude agent runtime permissions/plugins.
Mechanism
first-party installer with privileged system setup and brand-scoped Claude plugin/config mutation
Rationale
Source inspection supports a warning for guarded/first-party agent extension lifecycle risk rather than a publish block: the package has broad installer capabilities and bypasses permissions in its own Claude config, but lacks unconsented install-time execution, stealth exfiltration, or foreign/broad Claude config hijack. Scanner download-execute labels map mostly to expected installer dependency flows reached by the CLI.

Decision evidence

public snapshot
AI called this Suspicious at 86.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
  • dist/index.js bin performs broad installer actions when user runs create-sitedesk-code: sudo apt/brew/systemctl, curl|sh, npm install, git clone, service writes.
  • dist/permissions-seed.js writes brand CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR/settings.json with defaultMode=bypassPermissions and an autoMode trust block.
  • dist/index.js registers Claude plugin marketplaces and installs local/external plugins under brand-scoped CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR.
  • dist/index.js deployPayload primes .claude/.claude.json onboarding/trust state and wipes/replaces install subtrees.
  • dist/index.js downloads/installs system components from NodeSource, Neo4j, Ollama, Cloudflare, Google, GitHub, npm, and Anthropic plugin marketplaces.
Evidence against
  • package.json has no preinstall/install/postinstall hook; only prepublishOnly, so npm install alone does not run the installer.
  • Risky behavior is exposed through the declared CLI bin and aligns with a device/application installer for SiteDesk.
  • Claude config and plugin writes are scoped to ~/.sitedesk-code/.claude, not the user's default ~/.claude.
  • Secrets seen are generated locally or preserved in brand config; source inspection did not find credential harvesting or exfiltration logic.
  • Remote downloads are package-aligned dependency/install flows, not fetched JS executed stealthily at package import time.
