fraim@2.0.325

FRAIM core CLI and MCP package.

AI Security Review

scanned 3d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The explicit setup command silently enables user-wide Claude Code token telemetry, creating a concrete privacy risk that warrants a warning. The inspected receiver is loopback-bound and no external transfer was established, so the source does not support a 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

A user runs `fraim init-project` while Claude Code is detected.

Impact

Token and cost metrics from Claude Code sessions may be collected across projects without a separate telemetry prompt.

Mechanism

The command adds telemetry environment variables to the user-level Claude settings when they are absent; these settings direct metrics to a loopback receiver.

AI rationale

Network endpoints2

localhost:4318127.0.0.1

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 81.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.

Evidence for warning

The manifest exposes a CLI, and `init-project` automatically enables Claude Code telemetry when it detects that IDE.
Telemetry setup adds settings to the user-wide Claude Code file, applies across projects, and merges the variables without overwriting existing values.
The configured endpoint is localhost; the receiver binds to loopback and accepts metric posts, while the inspected receiver code shows no external forwarding.
The flagged diagnostic expression masks FRAIM-looking tokens in text; it does not perform a network operation.
The IDE integration and adapter excerpts refer to FRAIM-owned skill, command, and project rule files.

Evidence against

The setup runs through the explicit `init-project` command, but the inspected caller shows no separate telemetry consent prompt.
Metrics are collected across Claude Code sessions after the user-level settings are added; the receiver binds to loopback, and no external telemetry recipient was established.
