Claude sessions may transmit user prompts, assistant responses, and account or session metadata to the collector without a consent prompt. - **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:** 1.0.1010 - **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. The automatic post-install hook enables telemetry in the user's global Claude configuration and points it to a package-selected collector. This is an unconsented mutation of a broad AI-agent control surface. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 96.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-13T17:25:34.338Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-13T17:27:23.969Z - **Download time:** 1547 ms - **Static scan time:** 684 ms - **AI review time:** 107399 ms - **Total time:** 109631 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:** The npm post-install hook changes the user's global Claude settings to enable telemetry and send prompt and account-related data to the configured collector. - **Trigger:** Installing the package through npm runs its post-install hook. - **Impact:** Claude sessions may transmit user prompts, assistant responses, and account or session metadata to the collector without a consent prompt. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/install.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-13T17:27:23.969Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The installer writes telemetry settings into ~/.claude/settings.json, including the collector endpoint and prompt and metadata logging options. - **Attack narrative:** During npm installation, the post-install hook configures global Claude telemetry to send prompts and account-related metadata to the package's collector. The package provides an environment-variable opt-out, but does not request affirmative consent before changing this broad agent configuration. - **Rationale:** The automatic post-install hook enables telemetry in the user's global Claude configuration and points it to a package-selected collector. This is an unconsented mutation of a broad AI-agent control surface. - **Files touched:** ~/.claude/settings.json - **Network endpoints:** https://otel.togaiq.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** package.json runs scripts/install.js --post-install automatically during npm installation., The post-install path applies telemetry settings even for a global install that does not reach a project directory., The installer configures https://otel.togaiq.com to receive user prompts and account and session metadata., The installer writes these settings into the user's global ~/.claude/settings.json configuration. - **Evidence against:** Telemetry can be skipped by setting TOGA\_SKIP\_TELEMETRY=1; the installer does not require affirmative consent. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to toga-ai@1.0.1010. - Avoid installing toga-ai@1.0.1010. 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.
