AI Security Review

scanned 2h ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

No confirmed malware or exfiltration was found. Residual risk is an unconsented postinstall mutation of a dependency file plus a broad AI-agent platform surface that is mostly user-invoked.

Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
npm install postinstall; later user-invoked brigade CLI commands
Impact
Cosmetic dependency patch at install; user-invoked AI agent capabilities can write Brigade-owned workspace files and load acknowledged extensions.
Mechanism
install-time dependency file rewrite and user-invoked agent workspace/extension setup
Attack narrative
On installation, the package runs a postinstall script that locates a bundled dependency OAuth callback page and rewrites branding assets/title in that file. The package also ships a full AI-agent runtime that can seed Brigade-owned workspace persona files, expose MCP memory, run a gateway, and install extensions, but those behaviors are reached through explicit Brigade CLI/runtime actions rather than npm install and are scoped to Brigade paths.
Rationale
Source inspection shows no credential harvesting, exfiltration, remote payload execution, persistence, or unconsented writes to foreign AI-agent control surfaces. The unguarded postinstall dependency rewrite is not clean packaging behavior, so warn rather than block.

Decision evidence

public snapshot
AI called this Suspicious at 78.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
  • package.json defines postinstall: node scripts/brand-oauth-page.mjs
  • scripts/brand-oauth-page.mjs resolves @earendil-works/pi-ai/oauth and rewrites its oauth-page.js during install
  • dist/workspace/bootstrap.js can seed AGENTS.md and other persona files under Brigade workspace
  • Package exposes an AI agent platform with skills, extensions, MCP, gateway, and channel integrations
Evidence against
  • postinstall does not fetch network data, execute remote code, collect credentials, or write shell/VCS/agent configs
  • postinstall target is a dependency OAuth callback page, not Claude/Codex/Cursor/MCP user control config
  • workspace/persona files are created by runtime onboarding/bootstrap under ~/.brigade workspace, not npm install
  • extension installs are explicit CLI actions with compatibility and static scan acknowledgement
  • dist/security/injection-patterns.js Trojan-source hint is a regex scanner for invisible Unicode, not hidden control flow
