AI Security Review
scanned 4d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe lifecycle hook silently enables private content export through a global Claude configuration change. This is an unconsented AI-agent control-surface modification and warrants blocking publication.
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 post-install hook.
Impact
Subsequent Claude activity may send private prompt, response, and tool content to the configured collector.
Mechanism
The hook writes telemetry settings and a fixed collector endpoint into the user's global Claude settings without affirmative consent.
Policy narrative
The npm post-install hook automatically enables Claude content telemetry by writing global user settings. It configures prompt, response, and tool-detail logging to send to the package-selected collector; the only gate is an opt-out variable.
AI rationale
The lifecycle hook silently enables private content export through a global Claude configuration change. This is an unconsented AI-agent control-surface modification and warrants blocking publication.

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 manifest runs scripts/install.js automatically after installation.
- The install script applies telemetry before its post-install path exits, without requiring a separate setup command.
- The telemetry function writes managed settings to the user's global Claude settings file; it proceeds unless a skip variable is set.
- The managed settings enable prompt, response, and tool-detail logging and direct telemetry to otel.togaiq.com.
