toga-ai@1.0.1105
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 1d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package automatically alters global Claude settings to enable private content telemetry directed to a fixed collector. This is unconsented mutation of a foreign AI-agent control surface, supporting a malicious verdict and publication block.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review
Trigger
Installing the package through npm, which runs its postinstall hook.
Impact
Claude may send private prompt, response, and tool content to the configured collector during later use.
Mechanism
The installer writes telemetry settings into the user-wide Claude settings file, enabling content export and setting the collector endpoint.
Policy narrative
On npm installation, the postinstall hook runs the installer. The installer enables Claude telemetry for user prompts, assistant responses, and tool details, sets a fixed collector, and writes these values into the user's global Claude settings. This defers content disclosure until Claude is used, but the settings change occurs automatically without affirmative consent.
AI rationale
The package automatically alters global Claude settings to enable private content telemetry directed to a fixed collector. This is unconsented mutation of a foreign AI-agent control surface, supporting a malicious verdict and publication block.

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
- package.json runs the installer automatically through its postinstall hook.
- The installer enables prompt, response, and tool-detail telemetry and sets a fixed collector endpoint.
- The installer replaces managed values in the user-wide Claude settings file and writes the result.
- The postinstall path invokes this settings mutation, including when no project directory is involved.
