anyray-connect@0.11.220: AI-agent capability abuse – flagged

AI Security Review

scanned 1mo ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

This is not malicious install-hook abuse because registry installation has no automatic install lifecycle. Its broad, credential-aware AI-agent configuration and remote-management capability warrants a warning for users who choose to run it.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.

Trigger

A user runs the anyray-connect executable and confirms configuration or enrollment.

Impact

Existing AI-tool traffic and credentials may be routed to the configured gateway; remote enrollment can influence later configuration actions.

Mechanism

Credential-aware AI-tool configuration and gateway routing.

AI rationale

This is not malicious install-hook abuse because registry installation has no automatic install lifecycle. Its broad, credential-aware AI-agent configuration and remote-management capability warrants a warning for users who choose to run it.

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 83.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for warning

The package exposes an executable that rewrites AI-tool routing and configuration when the user runs it.
The runtime can read existing AI-service credentials and configure gateway routing, including Codex configuration.
It includes remote directive handling that can request reconfiguration, reversion, or updates after enrollment.

Evidence against

There are no preinstall, install, or postinstall hooks; the only publish hook is prepublishOnly.
The behavior is activated through the package executable and includes interactive confirmation and dry-run paths.
The configured gateway is user-supplied or defaults to localhost; no fixed credential-exfiltration receiver was confirmed.
