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

AI Security Review

scanned 11d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

Source inspection found no install-time attack or concrete malicious behavior. The flagged settings mutation is behind an explicit prompt, and the notification request uses an explicitly configured topic.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.

Trigger

The user runs the interactive settings setup or enables notifications by configuring NTFY_TOPIC.

Impact

The inspected behavior does not establish covert credential forwarding or unconsented agent-control changes.

Mechanism

The setup asks before patching Claude settings; the notification hook posts its message to ntfy.sh using the configured topic.

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Clean at 86.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for AI clean decision

package.json defines only a prepublishOnly lifecycle script; it has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook.
The settings patch runs through an interactive setup step and returns without patching when the user declines.
The inspected configuration and hook paths point to PAI-owned data under the Claude configuration directory.
The notification code requires NTFY_TOPIC and sends the message to ntfy.sh using that topic.
The inspected agent-configuration references concern Claude project or settings paths; they do not establish an unconsented broad control-surface change.

14* Shared scanner for Claude Code sessions stored in ~/.claude/projects/ .

15*

16* Storage layout (Claude Code v2.1.143+):

17*

18* <project>/<uuid>.jsonl — top-level: metadata, system snapshots, hook events.

19* REQUIRED for claude --resume to work.

20* <project>/sessions/<uuid>.jsonl — full transcript: user/assistant/attachment lines.

21* 3000+ files, almost none resumable on their own.

22*

23* Resumability rule (empirically verified):

24* A session is resumable iff the TOP-LEVEL jsonl exists AND contains at least one

25* line of type "system". Sessions that only have a sessions/ counterpart cannot be

26* resumed by Claude Code regardless of how much transcript content they have.
