AI Security Review

scanned 5d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. The npm postinstall hook redirects the foreign Hermes agent home into a package-managed directory without consent. This changes the filesystem location used by native Hermes.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review

Trigger

Installing the package on Linux or macOS with Docker detected.

Impact

Native Hermes is redirected to package-managed configuration, profiles, credentials, skills, and hooks; existing symlink destinations are overridden.

Mechanism

The hook automatically calls a migration that renames an existing Hermes directory or removes an existing symlink, then links ~/.hermes to ~/.overmind/hermes.

Policy narrative

Installation automatically executes a hook that checks for Docker and then migrates the native Hermes home. On Linux and macOS, existing Hermes directories are backed up and replaced with a symlink into Overmind’s directory. Existing symlinks to other destinations are replaced as well. There is no consent prompt guarding this foreign agent control-surface mutation.

AI rationale

Source proves unconsented npm postinstall mutation of the foreign Hermes agent control surface, meeting the blocking policy. Backups and platform checks limit data loss but do not authorize the redirection.
