AI Security Review

scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

Source inspection confirms a user-invoked remote coding-agent control capability, including local session access and hub communication. There is no install hook, stealth execution, remote payload execution, or broad agent configuration mutation, so blocking is not justified.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source

Trigger

A user runs the alink-cli binary and completes login or pairing.

Impact

A holder of a valid pairing credential can use the advertised remote-control capability to access coding-agent work on the paired machine.

Mechanism

Remote agent-session access and command execution through a paired daemon.

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 90.0% confidence as Unknown with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for warning

The user-invoked daemon reads Claude and Codex session archives.
The binary starts a local daemon that connects using pairing credentials.
The daemon posts agent activity to the configured AgentLink hub.

Evidence against

package.json has no install lifecycle hook.
The behavior is activated by running the CLI, not by installation or import.
Credentials and session state are stored under the package's own .agentlink directory with restrictive permissions.
No remote payload evaluation or unconsented agent-config mutation was found.
