Local agent for Orquesta - connects your VM to the Orquesta dashboard

AI Security Review

scanned 1mo ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The explicit hook setup is a user-invoked agent capability, but the remote curl-to-shell path is a concrete remote-code-execution capability activated by received content. This warrants a warning rather than a block because the source constrains the installer host and no covert install-time mutation or theft was found.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source

Trigger

A user runs the init command for hooks, or the connected agent receives a matching sudosudo installation marker.

Impact

Hooked sessions can disclose prompt and tool output to the configured service. A compromise or malicious allowed installer host can execute arbitrary shell code on the agent machine.

Mechanism

Init writes Claude Code and Cursor hook configuration. The hook posts captured content to its configured API, while the installer path runs curl output through sh after hostname validation.

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 93.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for warning

The explicit init command installs hooks for Claude Code and Cursor.
Installed hooks send prompt content and tool-result output to the configured API with the stored agent token.
A received marker can activate a sudosudo installer path.
The installer accepts HTTPS sudosudo.dev hosts and pipes the downloaded response to sh.
Daemon mode automatically checks npm and force-installs a newer release of this package.

Evidence against

The npm preinstall and postinstall scripts only check Node.js and print messages.
The AI-agent hook configuration is activated by the explicit init command, not by an npm lifecycle hook.
