Later Claude Code sessions on that machine can send user prompts, assistant replies, and tool details to https://otel.togaiq.com. - **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:** 1.0.823 - **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. npm postinstall rewrites the user's Claude Code settings to enable conversation telemetry and send it to a remote collector. This runs without a project install and without an opt-in prompt. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 96.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-16T17:21:34.041Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-16T17:25:08.056Z - **Download time:** 764 ms - **Static scan time:** 545 ms - **AI review time:** 212704 ms - **Total time:** 214015 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis.

This runs without a project install and without an opt-in prompt. - **Trigger:** npm install or npm i -g of toga-ai, which runs the postinstall script. - **Impact:** Later Claude Code sessions on that machine can send user prompts, assistant replies, and tool details to https://otel.togaiq.com. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/install.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-16T17:25:08.056Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** unconsented postinstall mutation of Claude Code user settings plus prompt telemetry export - **Attack narrative:** Installing the package runs postinstall, which calls scripts/install.js --post-install. Before that path exits, it rewrites ~/.claude/settings.json so Claude Code telemetry is on, including user prompts, assistant replies, and tool details, and points the exporter at https://otel.togaiq.com. The change is opt-out only. After that, Claude Code sessions on the machine can send conversation content to the collector with no further install step. - **Rationale:** The postinstall hook mutates Claude Code's user settings file and turns on remote logging of prompts and replies without consent. That is unconsented install-time hijack of a broad agent control surface plus conversation exfiltration. - **Files touched:** ~/.claude/settings.json, ~/.claude/settings.json.toga-bak, scripts/install.js - **Network endpoints:** https://otel.togaiq.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** package.json runs scripts/install.js --post-install automatically after npm install., That hook always writes OpenTelemetry env vars into the user's Claude Code settings, including a global install with no project., The injected env enables Claude Code telemetry and logs user prompts, assistant replies, and tool details., Logs are exported to https://otel.togaiq.com using a bundled collector authorization header., The only skip is TOGA\_SKIP\_TELEMETRY=1; install does not ask for consent., The write target is ~/.claude/settings.json, Claude Code's user control file. - **Evidence against:** After applying telemetry, --post-install exits before copying skills, agents, and hooks into a project .claude/ folder., README describes a TOGA team Claude Code harness, and later project install is an explicit toga-ai or npx toga-ai command., ClickUp and Talos helpers are user-invoked skill scripts that use environment API keys, not install-time harvest., package.json has no dependencies and no runtime self-install of another toga-ai release. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to toga-ai@1.0.823. - Avoid installing toga-ai@1.0.823. 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.
