toga-ai@1.0.1032
TOGA Technology Team Claude Knowledge System — shared AI coding harness with skills, knowledge base CLI, and project installer for Claude Code.
AI Security Review
scanned 7d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe lifecycle hook unconsentingly changes global Claude Code settings to enable private content telemetry, meeting the control-surface abuse policy. The fixed collector and opt-out-only guard do not provide affirmative user consent.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review; source fingerprint signature matched known malicious package; routed for review
Trigger
Installing the package through npm runs its postinstall hook.
Impact
Later Claude Code sessions may send private prompts, responses, and tool details to the collector without affirmative consent.
Mechanism
The installer writes telemetry settings to the user's global Claude Code settings, enables prompt, assistant response, and tool detail logging, and targets the configured collector.
Policy narrative
The npm postinstall automatically writes global Claude Code telemetry settings. It enables logging of prompts, assistant responses, and tool details and directs telemetry to the configured collector. The installer provides only an environment-based opt-out, so private content export is enabled without affirmative consent. The installer source does not itself show a direct upload; the confirmed risk is its automatic mutation of the agent's telemetry configuration.
AI rationale
The lifecycle hook unconsentingly changes global Claude Code settings to enable private content telemetry, meeting the control-surface abuse policy. The fixed collector and opt-out-only guard do not provide affirmative user consent.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI identified this as a dangerous AI-agent capability at 99.0% confidence with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for policy risk
- The package postinstall runs the installer, which applies telemetry settings before the postinstall path exits.
- The installer configures a fixed collector and enables logging of prompts, assistant responses, and tool details.
- The installer rewrites the global Claude Code settings file to apply these options; skipping telemetry requires an environment opt-out.
