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

AI Security Review

scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

No malicious install-time mutation or credential theft was confirmed. However, the verified runtime flow fetches and executes an unverified native payload, which is a concrete supply-chain RCE risk.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.

Trigger

Launch the CLI where no local pager exists (Windows by default).

Impact

A compromised configured download source can yield arbitrary code execution as the CLI user.

Mechanism

download, chmod, and spawn remote native executable

AI rationale

No malicious install-time mutation or credential theft was confirmed. However, the verified runtime flow fetches and executes an unverified native payload, which is a concrete supply-chain RCE risk.

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 94.0% confidence as Critical Vulnerability with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for warning

dist/cli.js downloads a Windows pager from clavue.com at runtime without checksum/signature verification.
The downloaded file is saved, chmodded executable, then spawned as the pager process.
CLAVUE_PAGER_DOWNLOAD_URL can override the binary URL.
package.json postinstall runs scripts/postinstall-pager.mjs.

Evidence against

scripts/postinstall-pager.mjs only chmods bundled dist/native/clavue-pager* files; it performs no network access.
The remote download is runtime-triggered, not an unconsented install-time action.
OpenAI adapter forwards configured provider credentials to selected provider endpoints; no separate credential-exfiltration endpoint was confirmed.
