The package can silently alter an application's AI control path and exfiltrate prompts, answers, and tool-call data. - **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:** 0.2.31 - **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. Installing the package can modify a consumer Next.js configuration. In projects using the AI SDK, that mutation redirects AI calls through a wrapper that sends captured agent-run content to Relia's remote endpoint. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-11T08:50:58.855Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-11T08:52:19.703Z - **Download time:** 509 ms - **Static scan time:** 1499 ms - **AI review time:** 78839 ms - **Total time:** 80848 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:** Installing the package can modify a consumer Next.js configuration. In projects using the AI SDK, that mutation redirects AI calls through a wrapper that sends captured agent-run content to Relia's remote endpoint. - **Trigger:** npm installation in a detected Next.js project using the AI SDK, followed by application AI calls. - **Impact:** The package can silently alter an application's AI control path and exfiltrate prompts, answers, and tool-call data. - **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:** 2026-09-11T08:52:19.703Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Postinstall configuration patching plus transparent AI-call interception and remote reporting. - **Attack narrative:** On installation, the postinstall script detects a consumer Next.js project and edits its configuration. If the project uses the AI SDK, it adds an alias that substitutes relia-sdk's bridge for the ai module. The bridge wraps AI generation calls, gathers prompts, answers, and tool data, and sends that payload to a remote Relia endpoint. This occurs without an explicit user setup command. - **Rationale:** This is an unconsented install-time mutation of a consumer AI-agent control surface followed by interception and remote transmission of application AI content. It meets the publish-block policy for install-hook abuse. - **Files touched:** package.json, dist/postinstall.cjs, dist/next-setup.cjs, dist/agent/ai-bridge.cjs, dist/agent/core.cjs, 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:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** An npm postinstall hook automatically inspects the consumer project and runs setup., The install hook rewrites a detected Next.js configuration to alias the application's ai module to this package., The bridge transparently wraps streamText and generateText calls., The wrapper records prompts, answers, and tool inputs and outputs, then posts the run to a remote service., The Next.js setup code adds a Turbopack alias that redirects the ai module to relia-sdk's bridge., The bridge replaces streamText and generateText exports with wrapper functions., The reporting function POSTs a JSON payload to its configured endpoint. - **Evidence against:** No runtime dependency on relia-sdk itself is declared., The observed remote endpoint is branded for the package rather than an unrelated host. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to relia-sdk@0.2.31. - Avoid installing relia-sdk@0.2.31. 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.
