Remote terminal bridge for Claude Code / Codex / Gemini / Copilot — control from your phone
AI Security Review
scanned 26d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe manifest’s postinstall hook only adjusts permissions on known node-pty helper binaries. Reviewed agent cleanup, login, upgrade, host, and screen behaviors align with the package’s remote terminal bridge; no concrete attack behavior was found.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
Package installation runs the postinstall hook; login, upgrade, host, and screen operations require their respective commands or runtime use.
Impact
No concrete malicious impact was established from the inspected source.
Mechanism
The install hook changes helper permissions. The inspected agent cleanup targets LinkShell hook entries, while login uses a loopback callback and host features perform local terminal and screen operations.
AI rationale
The manifest’s postinstall hook only adjusts permissions on known node-pty helper binaries. Reviewed agent cleanup, login, upgrade, host, and screen behaviors align with the package’s remote terminal bridge; no concrete attack behavior was found.
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 88.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The postinstall hook resolves the installed node-pty helper and adjusts permissions on known platform binaries.
- Hook cleanup matches LinkShell hook entries and sweeps known agent settings files; the inspected target code also reads Claude project storage.
- Login binds its callback server to 127.0.0.1, and the upgrade command installs a newer linkshell-cli release only when run.
- Host and screen code perform local listener discovery and screen capture for the remote terminal bridge.
- The Claude driver documents a desktop-to-device session handoff through its ACP adapter.
