fraim@2.0.343

FRAIM core CLI and MCP package.

AI Security Review

scanned 3d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The source supports a warning for an explicit setup command that silently enables user-wide agent telemetry. It does not establish malicious behavior or an external data transfer.

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 project setup while Claude Code is detected.

Impact

Future sessions may send token usage metrics to the local FRAIM receiver across projects.

Mechanism

Setup adds telemetry settings pointing Claude Code metrics to FRAIM's local receiver, if the settings are not already present.

AI rationale

The source supports a warning for an explicit setup command that silently enables user-wide agent telemetry. It does not establish malicious behavior or an external data transfer.

Evidence

dist/src/cli/commands/init-project.jsdist/src/cli/setup/claude-code-telemetry.jsdist/src/local-mcp-server/otlp-metrics-receiver.js~/.claude/settings.json

Network endpoints1

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 91.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.

Evidence for warning

During `fraim init-project`, detecting Claude Code triggers setup of telemetry at user scope, affecting all projects.
The setup enables Claude Code telemetry and directs metrics to a local endpoint.
The settings writer adds missing values without an affirmative telemetry prompt; it preserves values that are already set.
The local receiver processes Claude Code token usage metrics and binds to the loopback address.
The inspected diagnostic and first-run locations concern diagnostic text handling and process errors; they do not establish a separate attack.

Evidence against

The settings change is triggered by an explicit project setup command.
The telemetry destination is local, and the inspected source does not establish that these token metrics are sent to an external recipient.
The package manifest identifies CLI entrypoints; the inspected source does not establish an install-time trigger.
