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

AI Security Review

scanned 11d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The inspected manifest does not run setup during package installation, and the Claude settings patch is presented to the user for confirmation. The flagged integration locations show local configuration and data paths, with no inspected source proving an attack.

Static reason

One or more suspicious static signals were detected.

Trigger

The user runs the package setup command and accepts its settings patch prompt; the manifest has no install lifecycle hook.

Impact

No confirmed credential exfiltration, unconsented agent control-surface mutation, or other attack effect was established.

Mechanism

Setup merges PAI environment values and hook registrations into Claude settings. The inspected hook locations read local configuration or notes paths.

AI rationale

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Clean at 78.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for AI clean decision

The manifest exposes a library and CLI entrypoints; its only lifecycle script is prepublishOnly, which runs the build.
The setup flow asks before patching Claude settings; its merge logic adds missing environment keys without overwriting existing values.
The cited integration locations resolve to local Claude configuration, hook, notes, or settings paths; they do not show credential forwarding or an unconsented configuration write.
The inspected server excerpt imports configuration and filesystem helpers; it does not establish an attack.
