fraim@2.0.285
FRAIM core CLI and MCP package.
AI Security Review
scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThis is an explicit-command AI-agent configuration capability with broad user-level effects, not an install-time malware chain. The source supports a warning for the configuration and telemetry behavior, but not a block.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review
Trigger
The user runs fraim init-project, add-ide, setup, or the guided first-run wizard.
Impact
Claude Code settings can be changed for all sessions, and FRAIM discovery artifacts can be added to existing agent directories.
Mechanism
Global AI-agent configuration and local telemetry setup.
AI rationale
This is an explicit-command AI-agent configuration capability with broad user-level effects, not an install-time malware chain. The source supports a warning for the configuration and telemetry behavior, but not a block.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 92.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The explicit init-project command enables telemetry in the user's Claude Code settings when Claude Code is detected.
- The telemetry settings apply to all Claude Code sessions and send metrics to a local receiver.
- The guided setup writes FRAIM-owned skills and commands into detected AI-agent configuration directories.
- The first-run flow can install FRAIM and selected agent CLIs globally after the user starts the wizard.
Evidence against
- package.json declares no preinstall, install, or postinstall lifecycle hook.
- The package entrypoints only register and run named CLI commands; importing the main module does not start setup.
- The reviewed telemetry receiver uses loopback HTTP and retains token snapshots in memory; no outbound telemetry endpoint was found in that path.
- Agent configuration changes occur through explicit setup, first-run, add-ide, or init-project commands.
