Clavue: execution-first AI coding CLI with direct repo tools, provider routing, native workflows, MCP integration, and long-session recovery

AI Security Review

scanned 3mo ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The package is not confirmed malicious because the risky behavior is product-aligned and user-invoked, not stealthy install-time mutation. It nonetheless exposes an unresolved, high-impact unverified remote executable path.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.

Trigger

Run the CLI interactively when no suitable bundled pager exists (normally Windows), unless CLAVUE_SKIP_NATIVE_DOWNLOAD is set.

Impact

A compromised download endpoint or transport-delivered payload can execute with the invoking user's privileges.

Mechanism

Unverified remote native-binary download followed by local execution.

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 93.0% confidence as Critical Vulnerability with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for warning

dist/cli.js downloads a native pager from https://www.clavue.com/downloads/native without hash/signature verification.
dist/cli.js saves the downloaded executable, chmods it, then invokes it through child_process.spawn.
The download is enabled when no bundled pager is found, including on normal Windows interactive use.

Evidence against

scripts/postinstall-pager.mjs only chmods packaged dist/native/clavue-pager* files; it does not download or alter agent configuration.
Provider credentials are sent to the user-configured provider URL for explicit API validation/use, not harvested by the postinstall hook.
No inspected lifecycle code writes foreign Codex, Claude, or Cursor control-surface configuration.
