AI Security Review

scanned 27d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The package can change a broad Claude Code control surface, but only after an explicit attach install command, and the hooks stay on localhost. The npm postinstall path only rebuilds better-sqlite3 and does not mutate agent configuration.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source

Trigger

Operator runs the attach install command.

Impact

After that command, Claude Code sessions on the machine forward those events to the local daemon until the hooks are removed.

Mechanism

The command merges SessionStart, prompt, stop, session-end, and optional tool-guard hooks into ~/.claude/settings.json; each hook runs curl against 127.0.0.1.

AI rationale

Evidence

dist/chunk-2IYOKDVI.js~/.claude/settings.json

Network endpoints1

127.0.0.1

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 80.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.

Evidence for warning

The attach install command patches ~/.claude/settings.json once for all Claude Code sessions, with an optional port and settings path.
Those hooks register SessionStart, UserPromptSubmit, Stop, and SessionEnd, plus Bash and Write|Edit guard checks that call the local daemon.
The default settings path is the user home .claude/settings.json.
The postinstall script only rebuilds better-sqlite3 when the native ABI mismatches and then exits successfully.
package.json runs that postinstall script and does not itself write agent configuration.

Evidence against

Hook installation is an explicit CLI command, not an npm preinstall, install, or postinstall write.
Hook commands post to 127.0.0.1 and can be installed without the guard.
Anthropic OAuth and API keys are used for requests to api.anthropic.com, the credential's intended service.
