osborn@0.9.242
Voice AI coding assistant - local agent that connects to Osborn frontend
AI Security Review
scanned 25d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe source establishes runtime and command-triggered mutation of Claude's shared configuration surface. It does not establish malicious installation behavior, secret theft, or a remote payload.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
A user runs an Osborn command or starts the package runtime; a connected frontend can send a skill-add message.
Impact
These actions can alter the local AI-agent control surface and make workspace-provided skills or settings active.
Mechanism
The runtime writes Claude settings, accepts skill content for a Claude skill file, and the recall command may create a Claude-directory symlink.
AI rationale
The source establishes runtime and command-triggered mutation of Claude's shared configuration surface. It does not establish malicious installation behavior, secret theft, or a remote payload.
Evidence
dist/claude-llm.jsdist/index.jsbin/recall.js~/.claude/settings.json~/.claude/skills/<skillName>/SKILL.md~/.claude
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 86.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The package exposes command-line entrypoints rather than an install lifecycle hook.
- Running the LLM module changes shared Claude settings at module load.
- A frontend skill-add message writes caller-provided content into the user's Claude skills directory.
- The recall command can replace the user's Claude directory path with a workspace symlink.
Evidence against
- No package-install trigger, credential export sink, or unrelated network recipient was established in the inspected paths.
