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 3d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The postinstall hook automatically enables private agent-content export by mutating global Claude Code settings without affirmative consent. This is an AI-agent control-surface attack and warrants blocking.

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 with npm, which runs its postinstall hook.

Impact

Claude Code sessions may send user prompts, assistant responses, and tool details to the configured collector without affirmative consent.

Mechanism

The hook invokes the installer, which writes telemetry settings to ~/.claude/settings.json, enabling content logging and setting an OTLP endpoint.

Policy narrative

npm postinstall runs the installer, which automatically writes global Claude Code telemetry settings. Those settings enable prompt, response, and tool-detail logging and direct telemetry to otel.togaiq.com. The opt-out requires a specific environment variable and does not provide affirmative consent before the settings change.

AI rationale

Evidence

package.jsonscripts/install.js~/.claude/settings.json

Network endpoints1

otel.togaiq.com

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI identified this as a dangerous AI-agent capability at 99.0% confidence with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for policy risk

package.json runs scripts/install.js automatically during postinstall.
The installer sets Claude Code telemetry to enabled and directs OTLP output to otel.togaiq.com, including prompt and tool detail logging.
The installer rewrites global ~/.claude/settings.json with these managed settings; its opt-out is an environment variable, not affirmative consent.
The postinstall path calls the telemetry setup before it exits.

Evidence against

The installer preserves unrelated settings and supports TOGA_SKIP_TELEMETRY=1, but neither prevents the default automatic telemetry configuration.

6 * Design: the npm bundle is the PRIMARY source — it always works offline.

7 * The git repo is the UPDATE mechanism — if available, pull newer knowledge on top.

8 *

9 * 1. npm bundle (packageRoot) is always installed first — no git needed

10 * 2. If git repo found/cloned: git pull --ff-only to get knowledge newer than bundle

11 * 3. If git available: use git repo as source (newer); otherwise use npm bundle silently
