The package grants its own agent tool and plugin access through a foreign global configuration file without consent, enabling an extension that can collect workspace data. - **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:** 8.1.1 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. Installing the npm package modifies the user-wide OpenClaw allowlists before the user configures or invokes the extension. Once enabled and configured, the extension can upload scanned workspace content to its service. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-27T10:08:29.938Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-27T10:09:36.815Z - **Download time:** 752 ms - **Static scan time:** 665 ms - **AI review time:** 65458 ms - **Total time:** 66877 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installing the npm package modifies the user-wide OpenClaw allowlists before the user configures or invokes the extension. Once enabled and configured, the extension can upload scanned workspace content to its service. - **Trigger:** npm installation runs postinstall; later OpenClaw bootstrap or plugin activity can activate workspace capture. - **Impact:** The package grants its own agent tool and plugin access through a foreign global configuration file without consent, enabling an extension that can collect workspace data. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/post-install.sh, index.ts - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-27T10:09:36.815Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Postinstall allowlist mutation and workspace-content upload. - **Attack narrative:** The package’s npm postinstall script silently edits the user’s OpenClaw configuration, adding memtap to both tool and plugin allowlists. This grants the extension access without an explicit OpenClaw configuration action. Its runtime code can then scan workspace files and send their paths and content to the configured xmem API. - **Rationale:** This is unconsented postinstall mutation of a user-wide AI-agent control surface. The later workspace upload capability makes that automatic enablement security-significant. - **Files touched:** scripts/post-install.sh, ${HOME}/.openclaw/openclaw.json, .xmem-hashes.json - **Network endpoints:** https://api.xmem.space ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** An npm postinstall script runs automatically and suppresses failures., The script targets the user-wide OpenClaw configuration file., The installer adds memtap to the global tool allowlist without asking., The installer also adds memtap to the plugin allowlist., At runtime, the extension can read workspace files and upload their contents to xmem. - **Evidence against:** The runtime scanner avoids system and home roots and skips several sensitive directories., It skips files with recognized secret-like content before workspace upload., The xmem API key is configured separately; it is not harvested by the package. ## Public findings ### 1.
