first-tree-staging@0.5.20-staging.1120.1

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

Static inspection found a broad but package-aligned agent-management CLI, not a concrete malicious chain. The scanner's exfiltration claim is unsupported: telemetry is opt-in and scrubbed, while authenticated server calls are explicit CLI functionality.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source

Trigger

Global npm installation triggers bounded dependency pruning; user-invoked CLI commands contact the configured First Tree server.

Impact

May remove unused bundled SDK runtime packages from First Tree's own global dependency tree; no credential or command-output exfiltration found.

Mechanism

global-install dependency footprint pruning and explicit agent-management CLI operations

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Clean at 90.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for AI clean decision

package.json runs three postinstall pruning scripts.
Pruning scripts use rmSync, but only after npm_config_global=true.

Evidence against

Postinstall scripts perform no network requests or credential reads.
Pruning targets only named Codex/Claude SDK packages in this global install.
CLI network calls are explicit First Tree agent/chat commands.
Sentry is opt-in through an environment DSN and sanitizes tokens, content, headers, and paths.
No eval/vm dynamic payload execution found.

Hardcoded Runtime Data Exfiltration

Source sends credentials or rich application records to a package-controlled external receiver enabled by default.
