AI Security Review

scanned 3mo ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

This is a high-risk installer and agent setup tool, but the source ties execution to the user-invoked bin command and a brand-specific Claude directory. The inspected source does not establish covert or unconsented malicious behavior.

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

Explicit execution of the create-sitedesk-code CLI

Impact

Can install software, alter apt configuration, create services, and give the installed agent unrestricted local tool permissions.

Mechanism

privileged system installer with remote script execution and agent configuration mutation

AI rationale

Evidence

Decision evidence

public snapshot

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

Evidence for warning

dist/index.js executes remote installer scripts, including NodeSource, Ollama, and uv.
dist/index.js uses sudo to add apt repositories and install system software.
dist/permissions-seed.js writes Claude settings with defaultMode bypassPermissions.
dist/index.js registers plugins in a brand-scoped CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR.

Evidence against

package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook.
Behavior runs from the explicit create-sitedesk-code bin command.
Claude configuration is redirected to the package's brand-specific config directory.
No source evidence of credential harvesting or exfiltration to an unrelated endpoint.
