An opaque remote executable can modify broad local AI-agent control surfaces without an explicit user command. - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Product-default install policy:** Block - **Firewall policy:** Warn by default - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Soft block: AI-agent control surface - **Selected version:** 1.0.24 - **Selected version is latest:** Yes - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. Installing the package automatically downloads and executes a native program. It then runs a non-interactive command intended to refresh connections to local AI agents. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-01T16:35:17.077Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-01T16:36:35.084Z - **Download time:** 512 ms - **Static scan time:** 152 ms - **AI review time:** 77342 ms - **Total time:** 78007 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installing the package automatically downloads and executes a native program. It then runs a non-interactive command intended to refresh connections to local AI agents. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall during package installation outside CI. - **Impact:** An opaque remote executable can modify broad local AI-agent control surfaces without an explicit user command. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, manifest.json - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-01T16:36:35.084Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Remote native-binary download followed by automatic agent-extension refresh. - **Attack narrative:** On installation, npm runs scripts/postinstall.js. It downloads a platform-specific native executable identified by manifest.json, writes it beneath bin/, and executes it. The postinstall script then invokes that executable with +connect --refresh even without an interactive terminal. Because the executable is not present for source review and this command can refresh local AI-agent integrations, installation can cause unconsented changes to a broad agent control surface. - **Rationale:** The package has an automatic install hook that fetches and executes opaque native code and then automatically refreshes AI-agent integrations. Hash verification does not establish the safety of the package-authored binary or make the agent-control mutation user-consented. - **Files touched:** bin/arkcli-\-\, scripts/postinstall.js, manifest.json - **Network endpoints:** https://lf3-static.bytednsdoc.com/obj/eden-cn/psjryh/ljhwZthlaukjlkulzlp/prod/1.0.24/arkcli-1.0.24-darwin-amd64, https://github.com/volcengine/ark-cli/releases/download/v1.0.24/arkcli-1.0.24-darwin-amd64 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** The manifest runs a postinstall script automatically., Postinstall downloads and executes a platform binary, then invokes its non-interactive +connect refresh command., The downloaded program is an opaque native binary selected from remote URLs; it can install or alter local agent extensions outside the package directory. - **Evidence against:** The JavaScript downloader checks the downloaded binary against a manifest SHA-256 value., No credential collection or direct data-exfiltration code is present in the inspected JavaScript. ## Public findings ### 1. High: Install Time Lifecycle Scripts - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() Package defines install-time lifecycle scripts. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json scripts.postinstall = node scripts/postinstall.js ``` ### 2. Medium: Ambiguous Install Lifecycle Script - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 75.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() Install-time lifecycle script is not statically allowlisted and needs review. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json scripts.postinstall = node scripts/postinstall.js ``` ### 3. Low: Scripts Present - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 100.0% Package declares npm scripts. ### 4. Medium: Network - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 75.0% Package source references network APIs. ### 5. Medium: Environment Vars - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 75.0% Package source references environment variables. ### 6. Low: Filesystem - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 70.0% Package source references filesystem APIs. ### 7. Low: High Entropy Strings - **Category:** Supply Chain - **Confidence:** 55.0% Package source contains high-entropy string patterns. ### 8. Medium: Structural Risk Force Deep Review - **Category:** Artifact Inventory - **Confidence:** 70.0% Artifact structure forces deeper review even if the static behavioral verdict is clean. ### 9. High: Suspicious Lifecycle Evidence - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() The manifest runs a postinstall script automatically. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json "files": [ "scripts/run.js", "scripts/postinstall.js", "manifest.json" ], "scripts": { "postinstall": "node scripts/postinstall.js" }, ``` ### 10. High: Suspicious Lifecycle Evidence - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Path:** scripts/postinstall.js - **Public source:** [View source]() Postinstall downloads and executes a platform binary, then invokes its non-interactive +connect refresh command. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript const stdio = ttyFd !== null ? ["ignore", ttyFd, ttyFd] : "inherit"; try { execFileSync(binPath, ["+connect", "--refresh"], { stdio }); } catch (err) { ``` ### 11. High: Ai Review Evidence - **Category:** Ai Review - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Path:** manifest.json - **Public source:** [View source]() The downloaded program is an opaque native binary selected from remote URLs; it can install or alter local agent extensions outside the package directory.
