first-tree-staging@0.5.19-staging.1080.1

First Tree — unified CLI for Context Tree onboarding, agent management, and team messaging. (Source-tree dev build; CI rewrites `name` and `bin` for prod / staging publishes — see docs/local-dev-isolation.md.)

AI Security Review

scanned 3mo ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

This is a real high-impact agent-capable CLI and its install hook performs scoped deletion, warranting a warning. The scanner's exfiltration claim is not supported by the inspected bundle.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.

Trigger

Global npm installation; separately, user invocation of agent/runtime commands.

Impact

May remove bundled SDK runtime packages and enables high-privilege automation when explicitly used.

Mechanism

global dependency pruning and permission-bypassing agent runtime

AI rationale

This is a real high-impact agent-capable CLI and its install hook performs scoped deletion, warranting a warning. The scanner's exfiltration claim is not supported by the inspected bundle.

Evidence

package.jsonscripts/prune-codex-runtime-binary.mjsscripts/prune-claude-runtime-binary.mjsscripts/prune-claude-sdk-deps.mjsdist/connect-token-W3cAGVc-.mjsdist/cli/index.mjs

Decision evidence

public snapshot

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

Evidence for warning

package.json runs three postinstall pruning scripts.
The pruning scripts recursively delete resolved Codex/Claude SDK packages during global installs.
dist/connect-token-W3cAGVc-.mjs starts Claude SDK sessions with bypassPermissions.

Evidence against

Postinstall is guarded to npm global installs and targets named SDK dependency packages only.
No hardcoded package-controlled receiver or automatic credential/command-output exfiltration was found.
Hub requests use a runtime-configured server URL and bearer token.
