thinkpool-pair@0.7.161

Share a local coding-agent CLI (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Aider, …) into a ThinkPool Code room, live.

AI Security Review

scanned 5d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

No confirmed malicious attack surface. The package is a user-run ThinkPool room bridge that intentionally connects local coding-agent CLIs to ThinkPool realtime/web services and can optionally install its own background service.

Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
User runs `thinkpool-pair`, `thinkpool-pair install-service`, login/provider commands, or accepts the interactive service prompt.
Impact
Local agent terminal sharing and local config/service files are created only through runtime user actions; no npm install-time execution.
Mechanism
Package-aligned CLI bridge with optional first-party OS service persistence
Rationale
Static inspection shows risky primitives, but they implement the advertised bridge/service/update/provider features and are activated by explicit CLI/runtime actions rather than npm lifecycle hooks. I found no concrete malicious chain, hidden exfiltration, or unconsented mutation of a foreign/broad AI-agent control surface.

Decision evidence

public snapshot
AI called this Clean at 90.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for block
  • CLI can install boot-persistent launchd/systemd/Startup services via explicit `install-service` command in service.mjs.
  • Runtime bridges local agent terminals and uploads room artifacts/files to ThinkPool endpoints when user runs the bin.
  • Uses child_process to spawn local CLIs, npx updater, git/zip/gh helpers, and service-manager commands.
Evidence against
  • package.json has no preinstall/install/postinstall lifecycle hooks; only bin `thinkpool-pair` activates code.
  • Embedded Supabase JWT in bridge.mjs is documented as public anon key, not a private secret.
  • Service persistence is user-invoked or interactive opt-in, package-owned, and validates room labels before shell/service interpolation.
  • Provider/API keys are stored locally under ~/.thinkpool-pair with 0600 modes and provider announcements omit keys.
  • Network endpoints are package-aligned: ThinkPool/Supabase, npm registry update checks, and user-configured LLM providers.
  • No source evidence of credential harvesting, hidden exfiltration, destructive behavior, or unconsented AI-agent control-surface mutation.
