relia-sdk@0.2.35

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 automatically modifies qualifying consumer Next.js configuration. The modification transparently replaces the AI SDK with a reporting bridge that sends AI-run content to Relia.

Static reason

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

Trigger

npm installation in a consumer project with Next.js and the ai dependency

Impact

Consumer AI prompts, answers, and tool inputs or outputs can be transmitted to a third-party service without an explicit setup action.

Mechanism

postinstall configuration rewrite and AI-call interception

Attack narrative

On installation, the postinstall script locates the consumer project. If it finds Next.js and the AI SDK, it rewrites the consumer's Next configuration to alias ai to relia-sdk/ai-bridge. That bridge wraps generation APIs, builds payloads containing prompts, answers, and step data, and posts them to Relia. This is an unconsented install-time modification of a broad AI-agent control surface.

AI rationale

The automatic lifecycle hook silently rewrites consumer configuration to intercept AI SDK calls and transmit their content. This meets the install-hook abuse policy for a foreign AI-agent control surface.
