  "summary": "@aicommander/agent — a declared remote-execution agent whose RAT-class capability (remote root shell-as-a-service) warrants a malware classification",
  "details": "The npm package @aicommander/agent is the host-side agent for the commercial &ldquo;AI Commander&rdquo; service (aicommander.dev). It is a declared remote-execution tool — by its own description it lets AI agents &ldquo;run shell commands and detached long-running jobs&rdquo; on your machine, with elevation via a privileged helper and installed persistence. codelake classifies it malicious on a capability basis: it ships Remote-Access-Trojan-class capability to developer and production hosts. No covert reverse shell, dropper or third-party exfiltration was found — this is a judgment about dangerous capability, not hidden theft.",
