Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The package is not proven malicious, but its remote-driven permission-bypassing agent execution, configuration writes, hooks, and automatic self-update create substantial unresolved risk. Its only publish lifecycle hook is prepublishOnly, so the stricter install-hook blocking rule does not apply. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-13T05:52:57.690Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-13T05:54:11.242Z - **Download time:** 1275 ms - **Static scan time:** 4355 ms - **AI review time:** 67921 ms - **Total time:** 73552 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** When explicitly run, this package operates an autonomous AI coding daemon with broad repository and Claude configuration authority. It also self-updates its global installation automatically. - **Trigger:** Running telora-daemon after configuration, or invoking telora-daemon connect. - **Impact:** A compromised Telora control plane or malicious accepted request could direct a permission-bypassing Claude process in a configured repository; installed hooks run on later Claude events. - **Evidence paths:** dist/update/self-update.js, dist/shell/unified-shell.js, dist/shell/unified-shell-provisioning.js, dist/cli/connect/registration.js, dist/nexus/intake-spawn.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-13T05:54:11.242Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Remote-driven agent spawning, Claude hook configuration, and global self-updating. - **Rationale:** The package is not proven malicious, but its remote-driven permission-bypassing agent execution, configuration writes, hooks, and automatic self-update create substantial unresolved risk. Its only publish lifecycle hook is prepublishOnly, so the stricter install-hook blocking rule does not apply. - **Files touched:** .claude/settings.json, ~/.claude/settings.json, .telora/daemon.json, global npm installation - **Network endpoints:** api.syntelyos.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** The daemon starts an automatic updater and installs its latest global package release., A running daemon can create or modify Claude project settings across configured repositories., The connect command adds executable PostToolUse and UserPromptSubmit hooks to the user's Claude settings., Remote intake data is supplied to a Claude process launched with permission checks disabled. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no install, preinstall, or postinstall lifecycle hook., The risky configuration flow is reached through explicit connect or daemon-run commands rather than package installation., The inspected code contains no direct credential harvesting or secret exfiltration logic. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @telora/daemon@0.22.52. - Review the evidence and your use of @telora/daemon@0.22.52 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
