Install SiteDesk — automated back office for independent building contractors

AI Security Review

scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

This is not confirmed malware because installation alone does not execute it and the examined code did not show exfiltration. It warrants a warning because its explicit installer bypasses agent permissions, starts persistent services, runs remote shell code, and ships an OAuth secret.

Static reason

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

Trigger

The user runs create-sitedesk-code.

Impact

The resulting SiteDesk-managed Claude sessions can operate without normal permission prompts, and the bootstrap executes remote installation code.

Mechanism

User-invoked system bootstrap with agent permission bypass.

Decision evidence

public snapshot

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

Evidence for warning

The package exposes an installer CLI that performs broad system setup when explicitly run.
The installer writes Claude Code settings with bypassed permission checks.
The installer downloads and executes a remote Ollama installation script.
The bundled configuration contains an OAuth client secret.

Evidence against

package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook.
The observed setup is triggered by the user running the declared CLI, not by npm installation.
No credential exfiltration or non-local secret-upload path was confirmed in the inspected installer and helper code.
