osborn@0.9.234
Voice AI coding assistant - local agent that connects to Osborn frontend
AI Security Review
scanned 26d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiosborn 0.9.234 is a user-launched voice coding agent whose flagged Claude paths match that product and are not triggered by an npm install hook. The commented skill loader does not execute, and the live settings write is limited to two compaction keys.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
User invocation of the osborn or osborn-recall binaries, not npm install.
Impact
No unconsented install mutation, credential export, or remote payload execution was identified.
Mechanism
The running agent reads local Claude session and skill files and may update two compaction settings in the user Claude settings file.
AI rationale
osborn 0.9.234 is a user-launched voice coding agent whose flagged Claude paths match that product and are not triggered by an npm install hook. The commented skill loader does not execute, and the live settings write is limited to two compaction keys.
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 86.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- package.json only publishes the osborn and osborn-recall bins and has no preinstall, install, or postinstall script.
- Claude credential, project, skill, and session paths are read under the local ~/.claude directory when the user starts the voice agent.
- The skill loader at the flagged line in dist/claude-llm.js is commented out, so that path does not run.
- bin/recall.js creates a ~/.claude symlink only when a Fly /workspace/.claude volume already exists and the user launches the command.
Evidence against
- Importing the agent module writes autoCompactWindow and cleanupPeriodDays into ~/.claude/settings.json.
- If no Claude login or Anthropic key exists, an operator-supplied OPENROUTER_API_KEY is sent only to openrouter.ai.
