focalapi-cli@1.0.5

让任意 AI Agent 直接调用 focalapi 创作模型的命令行工具

AI Security Review

scanned 1mo ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

npm postinstall automatically installs this package's own FocalAPI skills into detected third-party agent skill directories, which is first-party extension setup rather than provider hijack or secret theft. Scanner DNS and credential-redirect labels do not match the source: the dummy host is a path allowlist, and API keys go to api.focalapi.com only on explicit login.

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

npm install (postinstall) when CI and FOCALAPI_SKIP_POSTINSTALL are unset, or a later focalapi connect install command

Impact

Detected agents load FocalAPI skills and may call the focalapi CLI without the user naming FocalAPI.

Mechanism

unattended first-party agent skill directory install

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 postinstall runs node scripts/postinstall.cjs on npm install.
postinstall spawns dist/cli.js connect install --json with no user command.
connect install copies bundled focalapi skill folders into every detected third-party agent skills directory.
The catalog targets many foreign agents, including Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and GitHub Copilot.
Bundled skills tell agents to use FocalAPI for creative work even when the user does not name it.

Evidence against

Writes only first-party focalapi skill folders and a managed-skills manifest; it does not edit MCP, settings.json, or provider configs.
Default API host is https://api.focalapi.com; the key is sent only on explicit auth login.
https://focalapi.invalid is a dummy URL base used to reject off-site request paths, not DNS exfiltration.
Postinstall is skipped when FOCALAPI_SKIP_POSTINSTALL or CI is set, and a failed connect does not fail npm install.
No eval, obfuscation, runtime self-dependency, or harvesting of unrelated environment secrets.
