osborn@0.9.170
Voice AI coding assistant - local agent that connects to Osborn frontend
AI Security Review
scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThis is a concrete runtime data-exposure vulnerability, not evidence of covert install-time malware. The optional authentication and public bind make the risk unresolved and severe enough to warn.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
A user runs the osborn command, then a network client requests /sessions/export.
Impact
An accessible network peer can retrieve agent transcripts, tool results, and skills; the runtime also has a remote shell installer path.
Mechanism
Unauthenticated archive export of Claude session data from a publicly bound server.
AI rationale
This is a concrete runtime data-exposure vulnerability, not evidence of covert install-time malware. The optional authentication and public bind make the risk unresolved and severe enough to warn.
Evidence
bin/cli.jsdist/index.jsdist/session-access.js~/.claude/projects~/.claude/skills

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 96.0% confidence as Critical Vulnerability with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The user-invoked CLI launches dist/index.js.
- The runtime API listens on all interfaces and only checks export authorization when an optional environment token is set.
- The export endpoint streams the full Claude projects and skills directories, which can contain session transcripts and agent data.
- The runtime can download and execute the code-server installer through a shell pipeline.
Evidence against
- package.json has no install, preinstall, or postinstall hook; prepublishOnly only builds before publishing.
- The OpenAI request uses the configured API key for text-to-speech, not an observed secret-upload routine.
- The risky behavior activates only after an explicit CLI launch.
