agenticros@0.7.15
⚠ Under reviewAgenticROS - agentic AI for ROS-powered robots. Single CLI to launch real-robot or simulated demos, manage configuration, and inspect status.
AI Security Review
scanned 27d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiInspected source shows no npm lifecycle hook and gates OpenClaw and MCP writes behind explicit CLI confirms, with cloud calls bound to the package host. The required clean citation set is larger than the eight-citation cap, so the review stays unresolved rather than a warning or block.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review
Trigger
No automatic install or import trigger was found. Agent file writes occur when a user runs agenticros init or a setup subcommand.
Impact
No confirmed unconsented compromise, credential theft, or remote payload execution. A clean publication decision cannot be recorded because required citation coverage exceeds the limit.
Mechanism
The CLI prompts before installing its OpenClaw plugin and before writing MCP client config. Cloud requests stay on cloud.agenticros.com.
AI rationale
Inspected source shows no npm lifecycle hook and gates OpenClaw and MCP writes behind explicit CLI confirms, with cloud calls bound to the package host. The required clean citation set is larger than the eight-citation cap, so the review stays unresolved rather than a warning or block.
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Manual Review at 62.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.
AI review observations
- package.json scripts are build, typecheck, test, clean, and packaging checks only, with no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook.
- OpenClaw plugin install during agenticros init runs only after an interactive confirm.
- Codex, Hermes, and Claude MCP config writes during init run only after an interactive confirm.
- Cloud login and robot API calls use the fixed package host https://cloud.agenticros.com.
- Marking clean would require citing 22 distinct paths, which exceeds the 8-citation limit, so a clean verdict cannot be finalized.
Evidence against
- init still calls syncToolsAlsoAllow, which can append AgenticROS tool ids to an existing OpenClaw tools.alsoAllow list without a second prompt.
- Confirmed setup writes the agenticros MCP entry into Claude, Codex, and Hermes config files and can register the first-party OpenClaw plugin.
