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

AI Security Review

scanned 5d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The inspected source does not confirm an attack, and the reported credential redirection finding was not resolved from the available targeted excerpts. Manual review is appropriate while that CLI behavior remains unverified.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source

Trigger

The CLI or daemon may be invoked through its package entrypoints; the unresolved report concerns runtime behavior.

Impact

The available source excerpts do not establish credential disclosure or another concrete malicious effect.

Mechanism

The inspected daemon excerpts show local memory operations and IPC handling. They do not resolve whether another CLI path redirects credentials.

AI rationale

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Manual Review at 56.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.

AI review observations

The manifest defines no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook; its prepublishOnly command builds and runs a gated worker check.
The flagged daemon paths show memory search results being saved, IPC tool dispatch, request handling, and startup of local daemon services.
The inspected command-line audit code examines endpoint overrides on running sessions; this excerpt does not establish credential forwarding.
The embedding path downloads a model from Hugging Face and checks its size and checksum before importing it locally.
The full behavior of the large CLI bundle and the scanner-reported credential redirection finding remains unresolved by these inspected excerpts.

Evidence against

The package has user-facing CLI and daemon entrypoints and network-enabled runtime features, but the inspected snippets do not prove malicious behavior.
