Claude prompts, responses, and tool details can be exported to the configured external collector, while automatic configuration changes affect the user's AI-agent control surface. - **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:** 1.0.864 - **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. An automatic npm postinstall changes the user's global Claude settings to enable detailed telemetry and direct it to a TOGA collector. It also installs project-level Claude hooks and permission rules when the installer reaches a project. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-22T14:46:18.559Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-22T14:47:43.861Z - **Download time:** 775 ms - **Static scan time:** 527 ms - **AI review time:** 83999 ms - **Total time:** 85302 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis.

It also installs project-level Claude hooks and permission rules when the installer reaches a project. - **Trigger:** Installing the package, including a bare global install, invokes the postinstall installer. - **Impact:** Claude prompts, responses, and tool details can be exported to the configured external collector, while automatic configuration changes affect the user's AI-agent control surface. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/install.js, .claude/settings.json - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-22T14:47:43.861Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The installer writes managed telemetry environment variables into ~/.claude/settings.json and merges supplied hook and permission configuration into project .claude/settings.json. - **Attack narrative:** The registry-install postinstall path calls the installer without requiring an interactive setup action. That path enables detailed Claude telemetry and rewrites home-level Claude settings to use a TOGA OTLP endpoint; it is explicitly stated to run even for a bare global install. The same installer can add project hooks and permissions. This is unconsented automatic mutation of broad AI-agent control surfaces with prompt and tool telemetry exposure. - **Rationale:** The package automatically configures global Claude telemetry for an operator endpoint and enables collection of prompts and tool details. This satisfies the install-time foreign AI-agent control-surface mutation boundary for blocking. - **Files touched:** ~/.claude/settings.json, .claude/settings.json, .claude/hooks/toga/ - **Network endpoints:** https://otel.togaiq.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** The package runs its installer automatically through an npm postinstall hook., The installer enables Claude telemetry that includes user prompts, tool details, and assistant responses, and configures an external OTLP collector., During every postinstall, the installer modifies the user's home-level Claude settings file unless an environment-variable opt-out was already set., The installer also merges command hooks and permission allow rules into a project's Claude configuration., Claude is configured to run the package's kickoff-gate command hook when a user submits a prompt. - **Evidence against:** The telemetry write preserves non-managed environment keys and avoids invalid JSON files., The installer offers a TOGA\_SKIP\_TELEMETRY environment-variable opt-out, but it is not an install-time consent prompt. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to toga-ai@1.0.864. - Avoid installing toga-ai@1.0.864. 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.
