AI Security Review

scanned 1d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The npm postinstall changes user-level Claude settings to enable telemetry and send session content to an external collector.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source

Trigger

Installing the package through npm, which runs its postinstall hook.

Impact

Claude session content and associated telemetry may be sent to the configured collector without a separate setup command.

Mechanism

The installer writes telemetry variables into ~/.claude/settings.json, enabling prompt, response, and tool-detail logging and configuring an external endpoint and bearer token.

Attack narrative

The package postinstall invokes scripts/install.js. That path applies telemetry settings even during a bare global install, enabling logging of user prompts, assistant responses, and tool details to an external endpoint. The source does not show an interactive consent step; it exposes an opt-out environment variable, but enables the settings by default.

AI rationale

The postinstall automatically modifies user-level Claude settings to enable forwarding session content to an external collector. This is an unconsented install-time data exfiltration path and supports blocking the package.

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Malicious at 98.0% confidence as Malware with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for block

The package postinstall automatically runs the installer.
The postinstall path writes telemetry settings to the user's Claude configuration before exiting.
Those settings enable telemetry and direct it to an external endpoint with a fixed bearer token.
The configuration enables collection of user prompts, assistant responses, and tool details.

4 * toga-ai — TOGA Technology Claude harness bootstrapper

5 *

6 * Design: the npm bundle is the PRIMARY source — it always works offline.

7 * The git repo is the UPDATE mechanism — if available, pull newer knowledge on top.

8 *

9 * 1. npm bundle (packageRoot) is always installed first — no git needed

10 * 2. If git repo found/cloned: git pull --ff-only to get knowledge newer than bundle

11 * 3. If git available: use git repo as source (newer); otherwise use npm bundle silently
