WayAI CLI — sync hub configuration between local files and the platform
AI Security Review
scanned 22d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe bundle performs a conditional project-level agent configuration change during ordinary CLI use, so this merits a warning under the agent extension lifecycle policy. The observed behavior links an existing WayAI skill; no concrete malicious attack was established.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Running a non-help CLI command when a WayAI skill exists under the agent skill directories and the Claude skill file is absent.
Impact
Claude Code may load the existing WayAI skill through the added project link.
Mechanism
The CLI checks for the existing skill, then creates a symlink from the Claude skill directory to the existing agent skill.
AI rationale
The bundle performs a conditional project-level agent configuration change during ordinary CLI use, so this merits a warning under the agent extension lifecycle policy. The observed behavior links an existing WayAI skill; no concrete malicious attack was established.
Evidence
dist/index.js.claude/skills/wayai
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 83.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The package exposes a command line entry point and defines no install lifecycle hook.
- The bundle recognizes WayAI skill files under the agent skill directories.
- On an ordinary command, the bundle may create a Claude skill link when a WayAI skill already exists and the Claude skill file is absent.
- The link operation preserves a non-symlink entry and only replaces a symlink that lacks the expected skill file.
Evidence against
- The observed agent integration links an existing WayAI skill; it does not install a remote plugin or execute downloaded code.
- The reviewed login path validates a prompted WayAI token through the API URL supplied to the login command.
