It registers MCP servers, installs or trusts plugins, and adds a Git hook. - **Trigger:** Installing 0xray through npm, which runs postinstall. - **Impact:** A package install can change how installed AI-agent tools invoke commands and can persist package-provided hooks and plugins. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/node/postinstall.cjs, scripts/node/install-bridges.cjs, scripts/node/bridge-mcp-wiring.cjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-04T23:14:34.908Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Lifecycle-driven AI-agent configuration and plugin mutation. - **Attack narrative:** On npm installation, postinstall calls the bridge installer for the consumer project. That code replaces managed agent instructions, adds MCP command entries that invoke npx, copies and trusts Grok plugins, writes Hermes and OpenClaw user-home configuration, and attempts to install a Git hook. These broad AI-agent control-surface changes occur without an explicit setup command. - **Rationale:** The package has a concrete automatic postinstall chain that mutates consumer and user-home AI-agent configuration and enables package plugins. This meets the policy threshold for unconsented broad AI-agent control-surface mutation. - **Files touched:** AGENTS.md, opencode.json, .mcp.json, .grok/plugins/0xray, ~/.grok/plugins/0xray, ~/.hermes/config.yaml, ~/.hermes/plugins/xray-hermes, ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json, .git/hooks/pre-commit ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** The package runs a postinstall script automatically., Postinstall invokes the full bridge installer for consumer projects., The lifecycle script writes a package-managed AGENTS.md into the consumer project., It registers MCP commands through npx and trusts a Grok plugin without an explicit user command., It writes or merges MCP configuration for OpenCode, Hermes, and OpenClaw, including user-home configuration., It attempts to install a pre-commit hook during the automatic bridge installation. - **Evidence against:** No source evidence of credential harvesting or data exfiltration was found in the inspected lifecycle path., No runtime dependency on another release of 0xray was found in package.json. ## Public findings ### 1.
