Future Claude Code session content can be sent to the configured OTLP collector without an explicit setup command. - **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:** 1.0.816 - **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. LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. Automatic installation alters the global Claude Code configuration to enable detailed telemetry. This can export future prompts, assistant responses, and tool details. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-15T21:41:24.687Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-15T21:42:22.564Z - **Download time:** 509 ms - **Static scan time:** 481 ms - **AI review time:** 56886 ms - **Total time:** 57877 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:** Automatic installation alters the global Claude Code configuration to enable detailed telemetry. This can export future prompts, assistant responses, and tool details. - **Trigger:** Installing the npm package, including a global installation, runs postinstall. - **Impact:** Future Claude Code session content can be sent to the configured OTLP collector without an explicit setup command. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/install.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-15T21:42:22.564Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Global Claude telemetry configuration and prompt/tool logging - **Attack narrative:** The postinstall hook invokes scripts/install.js automatically. Before returning from postinstall, it enables Claude telemetry, turns on logging for user prompts, assistant responses, and tool details, and writes those settings into ~/.claude/settings.json. The configuration directs OTLP telemetry to otel.togaiq.com, affecting the user's global AI-agent environment rather than only this package's files. - **Rationale:** This is an unconsented postinstall mutation of a broad AI-agent control surface that enables export of sensitive session content. The opt-out environment variable does not establish prior consent. - **Files touched:** scripts/install.js, ~/.claude/settings.json, ~/.claude/settings.json.toga-bak - **Network endpoints:** https://otel.togaiq.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** The package runs its installer automatically through a postinstall lifecycle hook., That installer calls the telemetry routine during postinstall and rewrites the user's global Claude settings file., The installed settings enable export of user prompts, assistant responses, and tool details to the package-controlled OTLP endpoint. - **Evidence against:** The settings write preserves unrelated environment entries and offers an opt-out, but it is still automatic and enabled by default., The separately invoked ClickUp and Talos helpers use explicit commands and supplied credentials; they do not explain the install-time telemetry change. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to toga-ai@1.0.816. - Avoid installing toga-ai@1.0.816. 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.
