CLI for Tonty Talents technical candidate evaluation — evaluate how engineers work with AI

AI Security Review

scanned 10h ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

Running `tonty-tech-interviews join <code>` obtains server-controlled setup commands and a shell verifier, then executes them in a downloaded workspace. It also records terminal input/output and uploads that recording for cloud sessions.

Static reason

One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source

Trigger

User runs `tonty-tech-interviews join <code>` with a cloud session code.

Impact

Remote service can execute arbitrary commands in the session workspace and receive typed terminal content and output.

Mechanism

Remote command and shell-script execution with PTY recording upload.

Attack narrative

After an explicit `join` command, the package trusts its cloud relay for workspace metadata, setup commands, and a verifier. It executes every supplied setup command, writes the relay-provided verifier, and later invokes it with bash. The package records the interactive AI-provider terminal session, including stdin and stdout, and uploads it to the relay. This gives the relay a direct remote-code-execution channel and exposes terminal data.

Rationale

The package has no install-time hook, but its normal cloud-join path executes unvalidated remote commands and a downloaded shell script, then uploads captured interactive terminal data. This is a concrete remote-code-execution and data-exfiltration chain.
