WayAI CLI — sync hub configuration between local files and the platform
AI Security Review
scanned 27d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe CLI automatically exposes an already-installed WayAI skill to Claude by creating a project-local symlink on ordinary command use. This is a concrete but limited agent integration capability, so warn without blocking publication.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Running a non-help CLI command in a project that has the WayAI skill under `.agents/skills`.
Impact
The WayAI skill becomes available to Claude through the project configuration; no broader control-surface change was established.
Mechanism
The CLI checks for the existing skill and, if the corresponding Claude skill is absent, creates a symlink in `.claude/skills`.
AI rationale
The CLI automatically exposes an already-installed WayAI skill to Claude by creating a project-local symlink on ordinary command use. This is a concrete but limited agent integration capability, so warn without blocking publication.
Evidence
dist/index.js.claude/skills/wayai
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 86.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- On normal CLI commands, the bundle checks for an existing WayAI skill under `.agents` and may create a corresponding `.claude` skill symlink.
- The link repair runs from the foreground command path, while help and version commands are excluded.
- Login accepts an explicitly supplied API URL and otherwise uses the WayAI API; the inspected code does not establish credential theft.
Evidence against
- The manifest has no install lifecycle hooks; its executable is the CLI entry point.
- The link operation is limited to exposing an already-present WayAI skill and leaves an existing Claude skill in place.
- The inspected update and version-refresh paths update the CLI or version caches; no hidden payload execution was established.
