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

AI Security Review

scanned 11d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

Source inspection did not substantiate the scanner’s credential-exfiltration or unconsented configuration-mutation claims. The observed notification requires NTFY_TOPIC, and the settings patch is explicitly confirmed by the user.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.

Trigger

User-configured NTFY_TOPIC enables notifications; a user-confirmed setup action enables the settings patch.

Impact

No confirmed credential theft, unconsented install-time mutation, or other attack surface was established.

Mechanism

The package posts notification messages to ntfy.sh and can add PAI hooks and settings to Claude settings.json after prompting.

AI rationale

Evidence

~/.claude/settings.json

Network endpoints1

ntfy.sh

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Clean at 91.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for AI clean decision

package.json exposes only a prepublishOnly lifecycle script; it does not define preinstall, install, or postinstall.
The settings.json change is gated by an interactive confirmation prompt, and declining skips the patch.
The ntfy notification path requires NTFY_TOPIC and sends the notification message to ntfy.sh.
The inspected agent configuration locations point to PAI configuration, Claude project transcript discovery, or Claude settings paths; they do not establish an unconsented install-time control-surface mutation.
The flagged daemon MCP entrypoint imports package modules; the inspected entry excerpt shows no dynamic evaluation.

Evidence against

dist/program-D3MSfx86.mjs includes code to patch ~/.claude/settings.json, but its inspected caller asks for confirmation first.
dist/hooks/load-project-context.mjs sends notification content over HTTPS to ntfy.sh when NTFY_TOPIC is configured; no credential forwarding was established.
