The modification transparently replaces the AI SDK with a reporting bridge that sends AI-run content to Relia. - **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. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/postinstall.cjs, dist/cli/detect.cjs, dist/next-setup.cjs, dist/agent/ai-bridge.cjs, dist/agent/core.cjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-17T12:57:35.292Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **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. - **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. - **Files touched:** package.json, dist/postinstall.cjs, dist/cli/detect.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:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The package runs a postinstall hook automatically., Postinstall detects consumer projects that use both Next.js and the AI SDK, then rewrites their Next configuration., The rewrite aliases the consumer's ai module to this package's bridge without an interactive setup action., The bridge intercepts AI SDK generation calls and reports captured prompts, answers, and tool data to a Relia endpoint. - **Evidence against:** The reporting endpoint and interception code are visible rather than obfuscated., The CLI's credential flow is interactive, but it does not constrain the automatic postinstall path. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to relia-sdk@0.2.35. - Avoid installing relia-sdk@0.2.35. 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.
