AI Security Review

scanned 2h ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

LPM treats this as warn-only first-party agent extension lifecycle risk. No npm install-time attack is present. If the package's Claude Code plugin is explicitly installed, its lifecycle hooks invoke the package CLI and can launch a detached post-session processing task.

Static reason

One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source

Trigger

Explicit Claude Code plugin installation followed by SessionStart, UserPromptSubmit, PreToolUse, or SessionEnd; transcript mining also requires recorded consent.

Impact

A user-enabled agent extension can read consented local transcripts and send selected material to a configured Claude provider during processing.

Mechanism

First-party AI-agent hooks invoke local recall and asynchronous autopilot processing.

Rationale

Source inspection disproves the scanner's install-time-malware implication but confirms a user-installed AI-agent hook lifecycle with automatic background processing. This matches the policy's warn tier for first-party package-owned agent extension setup, with no concrete malicious chain found.

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 88.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for warning

`plugin/hooks/hooks.json` registers `raph inject` on session/prompt/tool hooks and `raph pulse --async` on session end.
`src/commands/pulse.js` detaches a background `raph pulse --run` process when invoked by the SessionEnd hook.
`src/commands/mine.js` reads Claude Code project transcripts after consent; `src/commands/arise.js --autopilot` records broad-machine consent.
`src/lib/provider.js` can submit extracted material through the local Claude CLI or an `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` provider.

Evidence against

`package.json` has only `prepublishOnly`; no `preinstall`, `install`, or `postinstall` hook.
Plugin installation is instructed as an explicit Claude Code user action in `src/commands/arise.js`; npm installation alone does not activate hooks.
No source evidence of credential harvesting, arbitrary shell payload download, destructive actions, or hidden exfiltration.
The reported secret pattern in `src/eval/scenarios.js` is a security-test fixture describing redaction, not a package secret.
