modelence@0.24.0
The Node.js Framework for Real-Time MongoDB Apps
AI Security Review
scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiNo concrete malicious install chain or secret theft was found. The explicit setup command mutates an AI-agent configuration, so it should be warned rather than blocked.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
A user runs the modelence setup command or starts a configured Modelence application.
Impact
The setup command can alter the project's Claude Code plugin configuration; runtime service metadata includes a hostname and stable instance identifier.
Mechanism
Explicit agent-plugin configuration and package-aligned service telemetry.
AI rationale
No concrete malicious install chain or secret theft was found. The explicit setup command mutates an AI-agent configuration, so it should be warned rather than blocked.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 84.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The explicit setup command creates .claude/settings.json and enables a Modelence Claude Code plugin marketplace.
- The prepare hook changes the repository Git hooks path when this package is installed from a VCS checkout.
- At application runtime, the framework creates a stable machine identifier, hashes it with the working directory and environment ID, and sends the hostname and configuration metadata to the configured Modelence service.
Evidence against
- There are no preinstall, install, or postinstall hooks.
- The Claude configuration write occurs only through the user-invoked setup command.
- The observed cloud requests and deployment commands are tied to the package's named service and CLI functions.
- No self-dependency, obfuscated payload loader, credential harvesting, or stealthy command execution was found.
