focalapi-cli@0.7.7

让任意 AI Agent 直接调用 focalapi 创作模型的命令行工具

AI Security Review

scanned 22d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. npm postinstall automatically runs connect install, which writes bundled FocalAPI skill files into detected third-party agent skill directories under the user home. Those skills tell foreign agents to send creative tasks through this CLI even when the user did not ask for FocalAPI.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review; source fingerprint signature matched known malicious package; routed for review

Trigger

Installing the package with npm lifecycle scripts enabled, unless CI or FOCALAPI_SKIP_POSTINSTALL=1 is already set.

Impact

Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, GitHub Copilot, and other detected agents can start following FocalAPI routing after restart without a separate connect command.

Mechanism

Unconsented postinstall write of skills into many foreign agent control surfaces

Policy narrative

On npm install, postinstall starts the bundled CLI and runs connect install with no extra user command. That command looks in the home directory for dozens of other agents, including Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and GitHub Copilot, then copies FocalAPI skill files into those skill folders. The skills tell the agents to handle creative work through this CLI even if the user never named FocalAPI. After an agent restart, those third-party tools pick up the new skills and change routing. Setting FOCALAPI_SKIP_POSTINSTALL is an opt-out, not consent.

AI rationale

The postinstall hook writes FocalAPI skills into many third-party agent skill directories under the user home without a separate user command. That is unconsented install-time mutation of a foreign, broad AI-agent control surface, so the package should be blocked even though later API calls go to package-aligned FocalAPI hosts.
