PAI Knowledge OS — Personal AI Infrastructure with federated memory and project management

AI Security Review

scanned 11d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The source shows an opt-in setup flow for lifecycle hooks and hook behavior tied to PAI workflows. The scanner indicators do not establish malicious behavior or a broad agent configuration mutation.

Static reason

One or more suspicious static signals were detected.

Trigger

A user runs the PAI setup command and accepts hook installation, or an already configured PAI hook event occurs.

Impact

No confirmed attack surface was established.

Mechanism

Hooks process session or tool event data for PAI history and project context; the inspected excerpts do not show an unconsented write to a broad agent control surface.

AI rationale

The source shows an opt-in setup flow for lifecycle hooks and hook behavior tied to PAI workflows. The scanner indicators do not establish malicious behavior or a broad agent configuration mutation.

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Clean at 85.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for AI clean decision

The package exposes CLI entrypoints, and its only publish lifecycle script builds the package.
The setup command asks before installing lifecycle hooks and skips installation when declined.
The flagged hook paths concern PAI environment files, local project notes, and session history; the inspected excerpts do not establish a broad agent configuration write.
The inspected hook code records session and tool events for PAI workflows.
