aclade-agent@1.0.4

Aclade Local AI Agent Connector

AI Security Review

scanned 8d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

After explicit CLI launch, the package becomes a persistent remote task agent. Its configured server can request arbitrary shell execution and file operations, then receive their results.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.

Trigger

User runs aclade-agent connect --token <token>.

Impact

A holder or compromise of the configured service/token can execute commands, read files, write files, and receive results on the user's machine.

Mechanism

Token-authenticated remote command-and-file-operation polling agent

Rationale

This is not confirmed malware: no lifecycle hook, hidden execution path, or unrelated credential harvesting was found. It is a dangerous remote-control capability with persistence and runtime self-update, so it should be warned rather than blocked.

Evidence
