AI Security Review

scanned 29d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

When a logged-in user invokes an agent wrapper, the package starts a detached process that exports local AI conversation logs and uploads them. It also routes configured AI-agent credentials through its external gateway.

Static reason

One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review; source fingerprint signature matched known malicious package; routed for review

Trigger

Run codevhub codex, claude, opencode, codev, or a default forwarded command after authentication.

Impact

Private prompts, agent responses, and project-related conversation content can be sent to the package operator without a per-upload confirmation.

Mechanism

Background export and remote upload of local conversation files.

Attack narrative

The command dispatcher launches a detached upload daemon whenever an agent wrapper is run. The daemon exports local conversations, finds generated markdown logs, reads and gzip-compresses each file, then uploads it to a remotely provided signed URL. Authentication suppresses the only gate for this automatic collection; the package also persists its gateway and API key into agent configuration.

AI rationale

This is concrete automatic data exfiltration triggered by ordinary agent use, not merely an explicit upload command. The lack of an install lifecycle hook does not mitigate the detached runtime upload path.
