termdock@1.4.250

A complete web-based terminal application with modern UI

AI Security Review

scanned 1mo ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

This is a real terminal application. Install scripts only rebuild node-pty and try to install tmux, while agent-config writes are a first-party hook feature that is user-triggered or limited to refreshing already installed hooks. That is dual-use control-surface setup, not an unconsented install-time hijack, so the similar-source malware label does not justify a publish block.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review

Trigger

npm install runs postinstall; running the CLI or server starts boot checks, stale-hook refresh, and quota polling; hook install also happens through the agent-hooks API or CLI.

Impact

Other agents may run Termdock hook scripts on session events, and install-time shell commands can install tmux with elevated package managers.

Mechanism

first-party agent hook installers plus install-time native-module and tmux setup

AI rationale

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 84.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.

Evidence for warning

Postinstall and first CLI start run shell commands that rebuild node-pty and may install tmux with sudo package managers.
Hook installers write Termdock commands into Claude, Codex, Copilot, OpenCode, Pi, Grok, and Kimi config files.
Loading the terminal server rewrites stale previously installed hooks without a new prompt.
When the server starts, quota code reads other agents stored tokens and sends them to vendor usage APIs.

Evidence against

Postinstall does not change AI agent configs; it only sets up node-pty, tmux, and a local boot marker under the home Termdock directory.
The first hook install is an explicit API or CLI action, and marker or owned-file guards skip user-authored entries.
There is no runtime self-dependency or hidden collector; scanner similarity matches this same terminal product.
