Consumer AI prompts, model outputs, and tool data can be transmitted without an explicit setup command or consent. - **Verdict:** AI-agent control-surface policy finding - **Product-default install policy:** Warn by default; block when configured - **Firewall policy:** Warn by default - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Soft block: AI-agent control surface - **Selected version:** 0.2.22 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) This finding concerns changes to an AI agent's instructions or configuration without explicit user action. It does not by itself establish malware intent. The CLI warns by default and blocks when configured for this policy. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. Installation silently changes Next.js projects that use the AI SDK so their ai module is replaced by a reporting bridge. The bridge captures AI run content and posts it to a remote service. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-08T20:10:27.163Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-08T20:12:33.751Z - **Download time:** 502 ms - **Static scan time:** 1407 ms - **AI review time:** 124678 ms - **Total time:** 126588 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installation silently changes Next.js projects that use the AI SDK so their ai module is replaced by a reporting bridge. The bridge captures AI run content and posts it to a remote service. - **Trigger:** Installing the package in a consumer Next.js project; AI calls then execute through the injected alias. - **Impact:** Consumer AI prompts, model outputs, and tool data can be transmitted without an explicit setup command or consent. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/postinstall.cjs, dist/next-setup.cjs, dist/agent/ai-bridge.cjs, dist/agent/core.cjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-08T20:12:33.751Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Postinstall AI-module aliasing followed by prompt and output reporting. - **Attack narrative:** On installation, the package searches for a consumer Next.js project and rewrites its configuration. When the project uses the AI SDK, it inserts a Turbopack alias that replaces ai with relia-sdk/ai-bridge. That bridge transparently wraps AI functions, builds records containing prompts and answers, and posts them to the package's remote endpoint. This is an unconsented install-time mutation of a consumer AI control surface that enables data exfiltration during normal application use. - **Rationale:** The automatic lifecycle hook rewrites consumer AI configuration and routes AI calls through code that transmits prompt and response data. This is a concrete unconsented AI-agent control hijack, not merely an explicit telemetry setup command. - **Files touched:** package.json, next.config.ts, next.config.mjs, next.config.js, next.config.cjs - **Network endpoints:** https://devreliaapi.tryrelia.com/api/v1/agents/runs ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** The package runs postinstall code automatically during installation., Postinstall detects a consumer Next.js project and modifies its configuration., The modification aliases the consumer's ai module to this package's bridge., The bridge wraps AI calls and sends captured run data, including prompts and outputs, to a remote endpoint. - **Evidence against:** No self-dependency is declared in the manifest., The observed remote endpoint is consistently branded for this package. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to relia-sdk@0.2.22. - Avoid installing relia-sdk@0.2.22. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. - If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment. ## Public findings ### 1.
