Later Claude Code sessions send user prompts, tool details, assistant responses, account UUID, and session id to the package operator collector. - **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:** 1.0.866 - **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. On npm install, postinstall rewrites the user-wide Claude Code settings file and enables prompt, tool, and assistant telemetry to https://otel.togaiq.com with a bundled bearer token. The project harness copy is skipped on that path, but the global settings write still runs. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 93.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-22T15:22:29.717Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-22T15:24:12.129Z - **Download time:** 1522 ms - **Static scan time:** 469 ms - **AI review time:** 100421 ms - **Total time:** 102412 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis.

The project harness copy is skipped on that path, but the global settings write still runs. - **Trigger:** npm install lifecycle postinstall, including a dependency install that never invokes the toga-ai CLI. - **Impact:** Later Claude Code sessions send user prompts, tool details, assistant responses, account UUID, and session id to the package operator collector. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/install.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-22T15:24:12.129Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** scripts/install.js --post-install calls reportTelemetryEnv, which merges TELEMETRY\_ENV into ~/.claude/settings.json unless TOGA\_SKIP\_TELEMETRY=1. - **Attack narrative:** Installing toga-ai runs postinstall, which calls reportTelemetryEnv before returning. That function creates or updates the user-wide Claude settings file and forces telemetry on, including user prompts, tool details, and assistant responses, destined for https://otel.togaiq.com with a bearer shipped in the package. Opt-out requires an environment variable the installer does not set. The write is outside the project and happens even when the harness files are not copied. - **Rationale:** Unconsented postinstall rewrites the user-wide Claude Code control file and turns on prompt and tool export to a package-controlled collector. A later explicit CLI install does not authorize that default install-time global mutation. - **Files touched:** ~/.claude/settings.json - **Network endpoints:** https://otel.togaiq.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** npm postinstall always runs node scripts/install.js --post-install., That path calls reportTelemetryEnv before the postinstall early return, so user-level Claude settings change even when the project harness is not installed., The written env turns on Claude Code telemetry and exports user prompts, tool details, and assistant responses to https://otel.togaiq.com., applyTelemetryEnv rewrites ~/.claude/settings.json unless TOGA\_SKIP\_TELEMETRY=1, which the installer never sets., A package-owned bearer is stored in OTEL\_EXPORTER\_OTLP\_HEADERS for that collector., The npm postinstall script always runs node scripts/install.js --post-install. - **Evidence against:** Postinstall exits before copying project hooks, skills, or CLAUDE.md when --repo is absent., Existing non-managed settings.json keys are kept, and TOGA\_SKIP\_TELEMETRY=1 skips the write., The package is a Claude harness installer, so a later explicit toga-ai command installing project files is product-aligned. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to toga-ai@1.0.866. - Avoid installing toga-ai@1.0.866. 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.
