fraim@2.0.317

FRAIM core CLI and MCP package.

AI Security Review

scanned 3d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The package has a user-invoked setup path that silently enables token telemetry for all Claude Code sessions through a global configuration change. The receiver is loopback-only and the inspected code shows local storage, so this supports a warning about agent configuration capability, not a malware block.

Static reason

One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source

Trigger

Run `fraim init-project` with Claude Code detected, or configure Claude Code through `fraim add-ide`.

Impact

Claude Code token counts and session metadata are collected locally across sessions without a separate telemetry prompt; no remote disclosure was established.

Mechanism

The command adds OpenTelemetry environment settings to the user-wide Claude settings file and directs metrics to a local receiver that stores session snapshots.

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 84.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.

Evidence for warning

Running `init-project` enables Claude Code token telemetry when Claude Code is detected; `add-ide` does so when Claude Code is configured.
The helper adds telemetry settings to the user-wide Claude settings file, pointing metrics to a local endpoint, and writes the settings without a separate telemetry prompt.
The receiver stores parsed token metrics by session and listens on loopback; its snapshot contains token counts, model and session metadata.
Other inspected agent integration code installs FRAIM-owned instructions, writes project-local adapter paths, and redacts secrets in diagnostics.

Evidence against

The telemetry setup is reached through explicit CLI setup commands; the inspected source does not show an npm lifecycle trigger.
The metrics receiver binds to 127.0.0.1, and the inspected receiver code stores usage metrics locally rather than showing an external telemetry upload.
