The agent also writes remotely supplied AI instruction files and uploads local CLAUDE.md. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-14T20:23:22.174Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-14T20:24:13.258Z - **Download time:** 753 ms - **Static scan time:** 1193 ms - **AI review time:** 49136 ms - **Total time:** 51084 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** After authenticated runtime connection, dashboard-supplied content can invoke a constrained-domain remote installer. The agent also writes remotely supplied AI instruction files and uploads local CLAUDE.md. - **Trigger:** Run the configured agent/daemon; receive a matching dashboard prompt. - **Impact:** Remote service can cause shell execution from sudosudo.dev and alter project AI guidance. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/preinstall.js, scripts/postinstall.js, dist/index.js, dist/init.js, dist/executor.js, dist/sudosudo.js, dist/supabase.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-14T20:24:13.258Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** remote installer execution and AI-instruction synchronization - **Rationale:** No unconsented install-time mutation or covert malicious chain was found. However, authenticated runtime messages can execute a remotely fetched shell installer and modify AI-agent instruction files, constituting a dangerous capability. - **Files touched:** .claude/skills/\*, CLAUDE.md, .claude/CLAUDE.md - **Network endpoints:** https://getorquesta.com, https://\*.sudosudo.dev ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** Authenticated dashboard prompts can trigger a remote installer., Installer content is fetched and piped to sh., Remote API skills are written into Claude project instruction files., Local CLAUDE.md content is uploaded to the configured Orquesta API. - **Evidence against:** preinstall and postinstall only print messages and perform no mutation., AI-agent hook setup requires explicit \`init --token\` invocation., Remote endpoints are package-aligned Orquesta services; no stealth install-time network activity found. ## Public findings ### 1.
