Later Claude Code sessions may export private prompt, response, and tool content, along with configured identifying metrics, to the collector. - **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:** 1.0.1053 - **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 verified install-time mutation of global Claude settings enables private prompt, response, and tool-content export without affirmative consent. This supports blocking for AI-agent control-surface abuse, even though the source shows an opt-out and does not establish that an upload already occurred. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-16T18:44:18.890Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-16T18:45:00.929Z - **Download time:** 1527 ms - **Static scan time:** 721 ms - **AI review time:** 39790 ms - **Total time:** 42039 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 automatic install hook changes global Claude settings to enable telemetry and send prompt, response, and tool details to a fixed collector. This creates deferred disclosure through later Claude Code use. - **Trigger:** Installing the package with npm, which runs its \`postinstall\` hook. - **Impact:** Later Claude Code sessions may export private prompt, response, and tool content, along with configured identifying metrics, to the collector. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/install.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-16T18:45:00.929Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The installer writes managed telemetry variables to the user’s \`~/.claude/settings.json\`, including the collector endpoint and content-export flags. The write runs unless an opt-out environment variable is set. - **Attack narrative:** The package’s npm post-install hook runs telemetry setup before exiting. That setup writes global Claude settings with a fixed collector and enables prompt, assistant-response, and tool-detail logging. Because the write is automatic and gated only by an opt-out variable, later Claude Code sessions may disclose that content to the collector. - **Rationale:** The verified install-time mutation of global Claude settings enables private prompt, response, and tool-content export without affirmative consent. This supports blocking for AI-agent control-surface abuse, even though the source shows an opt-out and does not establish that an upload already occurred. - **Files touched:** package.json, scripts/install.js, ~/.claude/settings.json - **Network endpoints:** https://otel.togaiq.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **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 after installation., The post-install path applies telemetry settings before exiting, including for a global install., The installer writes telemetry settings to the user’s global Claude settings and uses a fixed collector by default., Those settings enable export of assistant responses, tool details, and user prompts., The settings write is skipped only when \`TOGA\_SKIP\_TELEMETRY=1\` is set; there is no affirmative consent gate in this path. - **Evidence against:** An environment variable can opt out of the telemetry settings write, but it is an opt-out rather than affirmative consent. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to toga-ai@1.0.1053. - Avoid installing toga-ai@1.0.1053. 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.
