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

AI Security Review

scanned 11d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and the flagged agent settings mutation is explicitly confirmed by the user. Inspected target locations and cleanup behavior are consistent with PAI configuration and session management, with no concrete attack behavior established.

Static reason

One or more suspicious static signals were detected.

Trigger

A user runs the PAI setup command and confirms the settings patch, or invokes a package hook during normal PAI use.

Impact

No confirmed attack surface was established from these behaviors.

Mechanism

The setup command asks before merging PAI hooks and environment settings into Claude settings; the cleanup hook archives session files in a project directory.

AI rationale

Evidence

package.jsondist/program-LLNPpxlj.mjsdist/hooks/cleanup-session-files.mjs

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Clean at 89.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for AI clean decision

package.json exposes the CLI and uses only prepublishOnly for building; there is no install hook.
The flagged ~/.claude/settings.json mutation is behind an explicit confirmation prompt and adds PAI hooks and settings. The inspected agent integration locations resolve to package configuration paths, project transcript handling, fallback notes, or PAI home paths.
The cleanup hook archives session JSONL files into a project sessions directory; this is package-aligned session management.
