AI Security Review
scanned 6d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiOnce configured, the package automatically sends the machine hostname with agent run events to its vendor’s API. The README discloses other uploaded run data but does not mention hostname collection, so this is undisclosed collection of machine-identifying information.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
After the user runs arcroom init, configured agent hooks process lifecycle events and start the uploader.
Impact
The service receives identifying information about the user’s machine without that collection being disclosed in the package’s data-use description.
Mechanism
Event construction adds hostname() and the working directory; the daemon sends event batches to the configured API, defaulting to https://api.arcroomai.com.
Attack narrative
After explicit setup, agent hooks automatically record the machine hostname in run events. The daemon uploads those events to the ArcRoom API. The README describes other uploaded run data but omits hostname collection, making this undisclosed collection of machine-identifying data a data exfiltration finding.
AI rationale
Once configured, the package automatically sends the machine hostname with agent run events to its vendor’s API. The README discloses other uploaded run data but does not mention hostname collection, so this is undisclosed collection of machine-identifying information.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Malicious at 95.0% confidence as Malware with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for block
- Each run event includes the machine hostname and the hook payload’s working directory.
- The hook converts agent lifecycle events into ArcRoom events, and the daemon uploads event batches to the configured API.
- The default upload destination is https://api.arcroomai.com.
- The README describes uploaded prompts, paths, commands, and other run data but does not disclose collection of the machine hostname.
Evidence against
- Runtime hooks are installed only after the user runs the documented init command.
- The README discloses collection of several kinds of run data and describes an arcroom off command.
