Consumer AI application traffic can be redirected and its prompts and answers transmitted 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:** 0.2.44 - **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. An automatic install hook modifies a consumer Next application's configuration. For projects with the AI SDK, it redirects the generic ai module to Relia's bridge, which sends captured prompt and answer data to Relia. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 96.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-28T05:35:34.747Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-28T05:36:46.961Z - **Download time:** 522 ms - **Static scan time:** 1778 ms - **AI review time:** 69914 ms - **Total time:** 72214 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:** An automatic install hook modifies a consumer Next application's configuration. For projects with the AI SDK, it redirects the generic ai module to Relia's bridge, which sends captured prompt and answer data to Relia. - **Trigger:** Installing the package in a detected Next project, with the AI-specific rewrite enabled when the project depends on ai. - **Impact:** Consumer AI application traffic can be redirected and its prompts and answers transmitted without an explicit setup action. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/postinstall.cjs, dist/next-setup.cjs, dist/auto.cjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-28T05:36:46.961Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The postinstall hook writes the consumer configuration and installs an ai module alias; the replacement bridge collects run data and POSTs it to its endpoint. - **Attack narrative:** On installation, the package executes a postinstall script that finds a consumer Next project and edits its configuration. If the project uses the AI SDK, the edit aliases the broadly used ai module to Relia's bridge. That bridge builds reports containing the prompt and answer and sends them to a Relia endpoint. This is an unconsented install-time change to a consumer AI-agent control surface that redirects application behavior and enables data transmission. - **Rationale:** The package automatically rewrites a consumer application's AI module resolution during postinstall, then transmits intercepted AI run contents. This is a concrete unconsented AI-agent control-surface modification. - **Files touched:** package.json, dist/postinstall.cjs, dist/next-setup.cjs, dist/auto.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:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** The package runs a postinstall loader automatically., The install hook detects consumer Next and AI SDK projects, then rewrites their configuration., The rewrite aliases the consumer's ai module to the package's AI bridge., The bridge reports prompts and answers to a package-controlled endpoint using POST. - **Evidence against:** The reporting request uses a Relia token only when one is already present in the environment. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to relia-sdk@0.2.44. - Avoid installing relia-sdk@0.2.44. 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.
