AI Security Review
scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThis is a risky first-party agent-extension installer with broad settings mutations, but the mutation is behind an explicit CLI command and the lifecycle script is non-invasive. It warrants a warning rather than a publication block.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
User runs ss install; global Claude installation is the default.
Impact
Changes agent environment configuration and removes matching MCP entries.
Mechanism
Global AI-agent settings and MCP-registration mutation.
AI rationale
This is a risky first-party agent-extension installer with broad settings mutations, but the mutation is behind an explicit CLI command and the lifecycle script is non-invasive. It warrants a warning rather than a publication block.
Evidence
dist/index.js~/.claude/settings.jsonVS Code User/settings.json
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 87.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The package has an automatic postinstall entry point.
- The explicit install command deploys to the global Claude directory by default and invokes its installer.
- The installer changes the global Claude environment setting and deletes named MCP registrations from Claude and VS Code settings.
Evidence against
- The inspected postinstall script only prints a Windows PATH hint for global installs.
- No self-dependency, credential harvesting, secret exfiltration, or remote payload execution was found.
- The agent-control writes are reached through the user-invoked install command, not the lifecycle hook.
