orquesta-agent@0.2.261

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

AI Security Review

scanned 23d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The source shows a real dashboard-controlled agent-extension and allowlisted remote-installer capability, so a warning is appropriate. The inspected lifecycle hooks are cosmetic and the explicit init path is user-invoked, so there is no evidence for a publish block.

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

Starting the agent with a token, or receiving a qualifying installer dispatch through the agent.

Impact

A configured dashboard can update project Claude skill content and can cause installation of code served by the allowlisted installer domain. No unconsented npm-install-time control-surface mutation was identified.

Mechanism

The agent fetches skills and writes them under the working directory; the installer path pipes an allowlisted HTTPS response to a shell.

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 89.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for warning

The package declares npm preinstall and postinstall hooks.
A connected agent fetches project skills using its agent token and syncs them into the working directory.
Skill synchronisation creates the Claude skills directory and writes server-provided files.
The package can download and execute an installer shell script from an allowlisted sudosudo domain.

Evidence against

The npm lifecycle scripts inspected only display version and welcome messages.
Hook configuration is exposed through an explicit init command requiring an Orquesta token.
The installer URL is restricted to HTTPS sudosudo domains.
