The package is a gateway that deliberately manages its own agent workspaces and optional MCP dependencies. - **Trigger:** Installation runs the optional bundled MCP dependency install; gateway and MCP operations run only after the user starts or invokes them. - **Impact:** These are powerful intended features, but the inspected source shows no covert exfiltration, remote payload execution, or unconsented foreign agent-control mutation. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/cron/manager.js, mcp/tools/agent/handlers.ts, dist/index.js, dist/api/router.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-26T14:08:01.835Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Gateway runtime management, optional MCP setup, and configured command execution. - **Rationale:** The lifecycle hook only installs the package's bundled MCP dependencies, and the flagged file writes and command execution belong to explicit gateway features. No concrete malicious chain or package-controlled credential exfiltration was found by source inspection. - **Files touched:** mcp/, \/AGENTS.md, \/CLAUDE.md - **Network endpoints:** https://api.telegram.org, https://discord.com/api/v10, https://slack.com/api/auth.test ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** Postinstall conditionally installs dependencies for the bundled MCP component., The gateway can execute configured cron commands at runtime., An explicit MCP agent-creation operation writes agent workspace files. - **Evidence against:** The install hook does not modify AI-agent configuration or fetch a remote payload., Package installation and command execution are tied to documented gateway features and runtime actions., The global package update action requires operator confirmation., No source evidence sends harvested credentials or files to a package-controlled endpoint. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @0xmaxma/claude-gateway@1.8.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @0xmaxma/claude-gateway@1.8.0 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
