osborn@0.9.230

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

AI Security Review

scanned 26d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The package has an explicit-user-command agent configuration capability and a conditionally protected import route. That merits a warning, but static inspection did not establish malicious intent or an automatic attack.

Static reason

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

Trigger

A user runs the package's CLI or its local server receives a session-import request.

Impact

A user-enabled deployment can alter or expose Claude session and skill data; no confirmed unconsented attack surface was established.

Mechanism

The package reads Claude session data, imports archives into the Claude projects area, and the recall command may create a Claude-directory symlink.

AI rationale

Evidence

bin/recall.jsdist/index.js

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 84.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for warning

The manifest defines development and CLI-related scripts.
The package reads Claude authentication and session data from the user's Claude directory.
The runtime centrally loads Claude skills and computes directories under the Claude projects tree.
Its HTTP server accepts a session-import archive intended for extraction into the Claude projects directory, with authentication enforced only when a sync token is configured.
The explicit recall command can create a home Claude-directory symlink to a workspace directory.
No automatic npm install lifecycle hook was found in the inspected manifest.

Evidence against

The observed Claude-directory mutation is reached through an explicit command, not an npm install hook.
The session import route conditionally checks a configured bearer token.
No hidden external endpoint, credential send operation, or remote payload execution was identified.
