relia-sdk@0.2.33

Zero-config observability SDK for [RELIA](https://github.com/relia-platform). Instruments Node.js services, browser sessions, and AI agents with a single CLI command.

AI Security Review

scanned 21d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

Installing the package in a Next.js project can silently alter that project's configuration. In AI SDK projects, the alteration redirects the ai module to Relia code that records and sends LLM-run content.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source

Trigger

npm installation triggers postinstall in a detected Next.js project, with extra aliasing when the project depends on ai.

Impact

Prompts, answers, and tool-call data may be sent to Relia without an explicit setup command or informed consent.

Mechanism

Install-time Next.js configuration mutation followed by AI request interception and telemetry upload.

Attack narrative

The package runs a postinstall hook automatically. It locates a consumer Next.js project, modifies its configuration, and, when an AI SDK dependency is present, installs an alias from ai to relia-sdk/ai-bridge. The package's automatic interceptor extracts user-message content and uploads run payloads to Relia. This creates an unconsented installation-time path from a consumer's AI control surface to external telemetry.

AI rationale

This is a concrete install-time mutation of a consumer AI integration that enables collection and external reporting of LLM content. The behavior is automatic rather than an explicit user setup action.
