AI Security Review
scanned 14d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe inspected bundle shows recurring encrypted host telemetry to the package’s configured service and a postinstall tool extraction. The executable archive could not be inspected, so its behavior remains unresolved and requires manual review.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
Package installation runs the postinstall unpack script; the daemon also starts recurring host telemetry.
Impact
The archive’s behavior remains unknown; the inspected telemetry discloses encrypted host metrics to the configured Thalamus service.
Mechanism
The unpack script extracts platform archives and sets executable permissions. The daemon collects host metrics and sends encrypted samples to the configured service.
AI rationale
The inspected bundle shows recurring encrypted host telemetry to the package’s configured service and a postinstall tool extraction. The executable archive could not be inspected, so its behavior remains unresolved and requires manual review.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Manual Review at 82.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.
AI review observations
- package.json runs a postinstall script that unpacks platform tools.
- The daemon starts recurring host telemetry that collects host and memory metrics and posts encrypted samples to the configured Thalamus server.
- The configured default server is thalamus.etai.app.
- The archive inspection analysis file was unavailable, so the packaged executable archive could not be assessed.
Evidence against
- The inspected telemetry sends encrypted host metrics to the package’s configured Thalamus service.
- The postinstall script extracts the archive as a tool and makes its files executable; the inspected code does not establish malicious behavior.
