modelence@0.25.0
The Node.js Framework for Real-Time MongoDB Apps
AI Security Review
scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThis is not concrete malware, but the prepare-time repository mutation and explicit agent configuration capability are real supply-chain risks. The observed network and host metadata behavior is aligned with the framework's configured cloud runtime.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
An install context that runs prepare, or a user running the modelence setup command.
Impact
The package can redirect repository hooks; setup can persist service credentials and enable a project-scoped Claude plugin.
Mechanism
Git-hook configuration mutation and user-invoked project/cloud setup.
AI rationale
This is not concrete malware, but the prepare-time repository mutation and explicit agent configuration capability are real supply-chain risks. The observed network and host metadata behavior is aligned with the framework's configured cloud runtime.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 82.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The prepare lifecycle changes the enclosing repository's Git hooks path.
- The explicit setup command writes project configuration and Claude Code settings, and can invoke the Claude CLI.
- Runtime code sends a hostname and framework metadata to the configured Modelence service.
Evidence against
- There are no preinstall, install, or postinstall lifecycle hooks.
- The Git-hook action is a prepare-only Husky-style setup, not a payload chain.
- Claude configuration and cloud authentication occur through explicit CLI setup actions.
- No self-dependency, hidden downloader, credential harvesting, or arbitrary remote code execution was found.
