AI Security Review

scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The package implements a powerful persistent agent extension and remote-update channel behind explicit setup, so it warrants a warning. No npm lifecycle trigger or concrete malicious install chain was found.

Static reason

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

Trigger

A user runs the package's global guard setup or enables it through its CLI settings, then uses a configured AI client.

Impact

The configured vendor receives conversation content and can change code that runs on later AI-agent events; the package can also affect normal Claude shell launches.

Mechanism

Persistent AI-client hook registration, conversation upload, and remote hook self-update.

AI rationale

Decision evidence

public snapshot

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

Evidence for warning

The explicit global installer writes command hooks into multiple AI-client configuration files and enables them for every matching event.
The installed conversation hook sends redacted user prompts and assistant replies to the configured SolonGate API whenever a credential exists.
The guard hook fetches JavaScript hook updates from the API and atomically replaces its installed hook files.
The installer modifies shell startup files to wrap the Claude command and can lock protection files.

Evidence against

package.json has no preinstall, install, postinstall, or prepare lifecycle hook.
The control-surface changes are reached through the package CLI or settings flow, not package installation.
Network use is tied to the named SolonGate API and the source includes credential gating and redaction.
