CLI for ChainlessChain - install, configure, and manage your personal AI management system

AI Security Review

scanned 3d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

LPM treats this as warn-only first-party agent extension lifecycle risk. Install runs a first-party skill-pack generator that writes agent/CLI extension files into the ChainlessChain desktop user-data skills directory. This is an agent extension lifecycle risk, but I did not find unconsented mutation of a foreign/broad AI-agent control surface or exfiltration.

Static reason

One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source

Trigger

npm install of chainlesschain@0.162.154; later explicit skill invocation

Impact

Creates package-owned agent skill files whose handlers may execute chainlesschain commands when invoked by the product/user.

Mechanism

postinstall-generated first-party CLI skill handlers

Rationale

This package should be warned rather than blocked: install-time first-party agent extension setup creates lifecycle risk, but inspected source does not show concrete malicious behavior or broad/foreign control-surface hijacking. Runtime network, shell, update, and MCP capabilities appear package-aligned and user/config driven.

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 82.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.

Evidence for warning

package.json defines postinstall: node scripts/postinstall.mjs
scripts/postinstall.mjs imports src/lib/skill-packs/generator.js during npm install
src/lib/skill-packs/generator.js writes SKILL.md and handler.js under getElectronUserDataDir()/skills
generated handlers can run chainlesschain subcommands via spawnSync shell:true after argument metacharacter filtering
src/lib/skill-packs/schema.js advertises agent/CLI skill packs with file/command capability descriptions

Evidence against

postinstall does not fetch remote code or run npm/package installs
postinstall only generates first-party chainlesschain skill pack files and prints optional SQLite note
shell execution paths are in generated user-invoked handlers, not immediate install-time execution
src/harness/mcp-client.js spawns configured MCP servers or fetches configured URLs at runtime, not hardcoded exfiltration
update command validates semver before npm install -g chainlesschain@version
No credential harvesting or hardcoded attacker endpoint found in inspected lifecycle/entry/hot files
