AI Security Review
scanned 11d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package’s automatic postinstall mutates and redirects a broad AI-agent control surface without a consent guard in the inspected call path. This meets the policy for blocking unconsented lifecycle mutation; the evidence does not establish credential exfiltration.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review
Trigger
npm install invokes the package postinstall hook.
Impact
This changes a broad agent configuration surface and redirects later Hermes access through package-managed files.
Mechanism
The hook copies Hermes configuration and state, renames the existing home directory, and creates a symlink in its place without a consent guard in the inspected caller.
Policy narrative
During npm installation, the postinstall script automatically migrates Hermes configuration and state files, including authentication-related files, then replaces ~/.hermes with a symlink to ~/.overmind/hermes. The inspected call path shows no consent guard for this change to the Hermes agent home.
AI rationale
The package’s automatic postinstall mutates and redirects a broad AI-agent control surface without a consent guard in the inspected call path. This meets the policy for blocking unconsented lifecycle mutation; the evidence does not establish credential exfiltration.
Evidence
package.jsonscripts/postinstall.mjs
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI identified this as a dangerous AI-agent capability at 97.0% confidence with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for policy risk
- The package lifecycle runs scripts/postinstall.mjs after installation.
- The postinstall unconditionally calls alignHermesHome during setup.
- It copies existing Hermes auth, environment, MCP, and state files into the package’s managed home.
- It renames the existing ~/.hermes directory and replaces it with a symlink to ~/.overmind/hermes.
Evidence against
- No evidence inspected shows a consent prompt guarding the Hermes migration.
