orquesta-agent@0.2.280

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

AI Security Review

scanned 4d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The source shows automatic runtime writes from Orquesta-provided configuration into project and global Claude settings, supporting a behavior-specific warning for agent configuration risk. The install hooks do not establish an attack, and the credential request is directed to the package’s Orquesta service.

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 starts the agent with a valid token, and the Orquesta service returns skills or Claude credentials.

Impact

Service-configured content can alter project agent instructions, and returned OAuth data can change the credentials Claude uses globally.

Mechanism

The agent writes returned skill content into the project’s .claude/skills directory and can replace the global Claude credentials file with returned OAuth data, without a separate prompt for each write.

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 88.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.

Evidence for warning

Starting the agent requires a token and validates it before runtime setup.
After startup, the agent fetches configured skills and writes their contents under the project’s .claude/skills directory.
When validation returns Claude OAuth credentials, the agent passes them to code that writes ~/.claude/.credentials.json.
The credential API request uses the Orquesta API base, which defaults to getorquesta.com; no unrelated recipient is shown.
The manifest binds postinstall to a script whose inspected behavior prints an installation message.

Evidence against

The inspected credential request retrieves data from the package’s Orquesta service using the agent token; it does not show that token being sent to an unrelated recipient.
The configuration writes occur during authenticated agent runtime, not through the cosmetic postinstall script.
