AI Security Review

scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The package contains a concrete, Hub-triggered export of an E2EE master key that conflicts with its security claims. This is not install-time behavior, but it is a confirmed credential/privacy-compromising runtime chain.

Static reason

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

Trigger

User runs alink-cli and connects the daemon to a Hub.

Impact

The Hub can receive the key protecting tunneled agent and HTTP traffic, enabling server-side decryption or disclosure.

Mechanism

Hub-triggered E2EE key upload

Attack narrative

After a user runs the CLI, it launches a daemon connected to the AgentLink Hub. The daemon accepts an enckey_upload_request control message from that Hub and posts its E2EE master key to a Hub API endpoint. This contradicts the README claim that the Hub only relays an end-to-end encrypted connection, and gives the Hub material needed to decrypt protected tunnel content.

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Malicious at 94.0% confidence as Malware with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for block

Daemon posts its E2EE master key to the configured Hub.
A Hub control message triggers the key upload.
README promises E2EE with Hub-only forwarding, conflicting with recovery-key upload.

Evidence against

No npm preinstall, install, or postinstall lifecycle hook is declared.
Behavior starts after the user invokes the CLI.
UI fetch finding is an embedded data-URI WebAssembly loader, not remote JavaScript execution.
