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

AI Security Review

scanned 11d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

Inspected sources show no malicious install-time behavior: the manifest has only a `prepublishOnly` lifecycle script. The flagged setup and hook behavior is package-aligned and consented, and no concrete attack surface was established.

Static reason

One or more suspicious static signals were detected.

Trigger

Explicit use of the PAI CLI setup or runtime session hooks; package installation alone has no install lifecycle hook.

Impact

The inspected behavior supports the package's setup and session features; no confirmed credential exfiltration or unconsented agent-control mutation was established.

Mechanism

Setup requests consent before applying Claude configuration and before using a discovered Todoist token. Inspected hooks read or update PAI session/project data and use the local PAI socket.

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Clean at 87.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for AI clean decision

The manifest declares `prepublishOnly` only; it has no `preinstall`, `install`, or `postinstall` hook.
The Todoist integration prompts before using an environment token and sends requests to Todoist's API.
Setup describes its settings change and asks before patching the Claude settings file.
The eight indicated hook locations resolve to local project/session paths, environment loading, or the PAI socket; they do not establish an external control-surface attack.
The remaining flagged paths contain package CLI or hook code, but the inspected excerpts do not establish credential theft or malicious persistence.
