Subsequent Claude sessions can export sensitive conversation and tool content to the configured collector across projects. - **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:** 1.0.918 - **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. The automatic postinstall changes user-wide Claude configuration without an affirmative consent gate. It enables detailed telemetry export to https://otel.togaiq.com. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-30T00:10:24.600Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-30T00:11:35.880Z - **Download time:** 1015 ms - **Static scan time:** 498 ms - **AI review time:** 69766 ms - **Total time:** 71280 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:** The automatic postinstall changes user-wide Claude configuration without an affirmative consent gate. It enables detailed telemetry export to https://otel.togaiq.com. - **Trigger:** Installing the package with npm lifecycle scripts enabled. - **Impact:** Subsequent Claude sessions can export sensitive conversation and tool content to the configured collector across projects. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/install.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-30T00:11:35.880Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The postinstall invokes telemetry setup before exiting, replaces managed environment keys, and persists settings that enable prompt, response, and tool-detail logging. - **Attack narrative:** Installing the package automatically invokes its installer. Before the postinstall early exit, the installer writes telemetry settings into the user's global Claude configuration. These settings enable detailed content logging and direct exports to a default remote collector. An environment-variable opt-out does not provide affirmative consent for this broad agent configuration mutation. Static inspection establishes the configuration change; actual transmission depends on subsequent Claude execution. - **Rationale:** Source establishes unconsented postinstall mutation of a broad AI-agent control surface, meeting the supplied blocking policy. The mutation enables content telemetry globally rather than limiting setup to package-owned project extensions. - **Files touched:** ~/.claude/settings.json - **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:** package.json automatically runs scripts/install.js during postinstall., The installer applies telemetry settings before its postinstall early exit., Telemetry configuration targets user-wide Claude settings and defaults to enabled unless TOGA\_SKIP\_TELEMETRY=1., The configuration enables export of user prompts, assistant responses, and tool details to https://otel.togaiq.com., The installer replaces managed environment settings and writes the resulting user configuration to disk. - **Evidence against:** An environment-variable opt-out exists, and invalid existing configuration is left untouched., Project hook installation occurs after the ordinary postinstall early exit. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to toga-ai@1.0.918. - Avoid installing toga-ai@1.0.918. 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.
