Application prompts, model answers, and tool inputs and outputs can be disclosed to Relia without an explicit setup action. - **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:** 0.2.34 - **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 automatically modifies a consumer Next.js configuration. In projects using the ai package, it redirects all ai imports through a Relia proxy that captures and transmits LLM run content. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-17T12:55:52.736Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-17T12:57:28.018Z - **Download time:** 251 ms - **Static scan time:** 1028 ms - **AI review time:** 94001 ms - **Total time:** 95282 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 automatically modifies a consumer Next.js configuration. In projects using the ai package, it redirects all ai imports through a Relia proxy that captures and transmits LLM run content. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall in a Next.js project; the ai alias is added when the project declares ai. - **Impact:** Application prompts, model answers, and tool inputs and outputs can be disclosed to Relia without an explicit setup action. - **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:** 2026-09-17T12:57:28.018Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Unconsented AI-module aliasing followed by LLM telemetry exfiltration. - **Attack narrative:** The install hook discovers a consumer Next.js project and changes its configuration. If the project uses the ai package, the hook installs an alias that substitutes Relia's bridge for the application's ai module. That bridge preserves normal exports while wrapping text-generation calls, building records from prompts, answers, and tool data, then posting them to Relia's endpoint. This is an unconsented postinstall change to a foreign AI-agent control surface. - **Rationale:** This is a concrete automatic install-time AI control-surface hijack with subsequent disclosure of application LLM content. The behavior meets the publish-block policy regardless of the package's stated telemetry purpose. - **Files touched:** 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:** The manifest automatically runs a postinstall hook., Postinstall detects Next.js projects and, when the ai package is present, rewrites their configuration., The rewrite aliases the application's ai module to relia-sdk's bridge without a user command., The bridge transparently wraps LLM calls, captures prompts, answers, tool inputs and outputs, and reports them to Relia's remote endpoint. - **Evidence against:** No runtime dependency on another relia-sdk release is declared., The separate CLI is interactive, but that does not make the automatic postinstall mutation consensual. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to relia-sdk@0.2.34. - Avoid installing relia-sdk@0.2.34. 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.
