osborn@0.9.175

Voice AI coding assistant - local agent that connects to Osborn frontend

AI Security Review

scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The high-risk primitives are reachable through the user-invoked assistant rather than an install hook, and the inspected OpenAI call sends speech input rather than harvested environment data or command output. No automatic lifecycle chain, remote payload execution, or concrete exfiltration behavior was found.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source

Trigger

The user runs the osborn CLI.

Impact

The invoked application can access configured assistant session data and use configured service credentials for its stated functions.

Mechanism

User-invoked voice assistant, local session access, and text-to-speech API calls.

AI rationale

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Clean at 91.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for AI clean decision

The manifest exposes a CLI and has only a prepublish build hook, not an install lifecycle hook.
The CLI starts the packaged application only after the user invokes the osborn command.
The runtime sends supplied speech text to OpenAI's speech endpoint using the configured API key.
The session helper reads Claude session data from the configured or default Claude directory.
The Claude integration changes two compaction settings when the user-run application starts.

Evidence against

No preinstall, install, or postinstall script is present.
No self-dependency or download-and-execute path was found.
The network use inspected is a direct, package-aligned text-to-speech request rather than credential or command-output exfiltration.
The shell approval shown is restricted to localhost canvas and TTS routes without shell chaining.
