AI Security Review

scanned 1mo ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

This is an explicitly invoked remote coding-agent controller, not an install-time malware chain. Its broad remote agent capability and default account-derived telemetry are material risks that warrant a warning.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review

Trigger

The user runs the CLI and pairs or logs in a machine.

Impact

A paired hub can request agent operations in the selected working directory; telemetry exposes a stable hashed account-derived identifier and platform details.

Mechanism

Remote coding-agent control with default account-derived telemetry.

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 86.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.

Evidence for warning

The package exposes a user-run CLI entry point that starts a local daemon.
The CLI passes a hub URL and machine credentials to the daemon.
The daemon protocol supports file and terminal operations through coding agents.
The TUI can detach the daemon into the background.
The bundled daemon reads Codex or Claude account identifiers, hashes them, and sends telemetry by default.

Evidence against

package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook.
No remote asset decoding or dynamic payload execution was found in the inspected entry point.
The observed process spawning is part of the stated remote coding-agent service and is activated by running the CLI.
