A build operation then invokes the unpinned latest package release through npx. - **Trigger:** A user starts the package's MCP onboarding or build workflow. - **Impact:** Signing credentials may be exposed to an AI conversation, and a later registry release can execute in the project context. - **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-01T11:01:09.591Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** AI-directed credential collection and unpinned self-package execution - **Attack narrative:** After the user enables the MCP workflow, its agent-facing instructions tell the agent to solicit a keystore password in chat and explicitly discourage warning the user. The MCP build helper also executes @capgo/cli@latest via npx instead of the installed release, so registry-controlled code can run when a build starts. These behaviors are reachable through an explicit command rather than npm installation, but they create a concrete credential-exposure and remote-code execution path. - **Rationale:** The package contains agent-directed secret-disclosure instructions and executes an unpinned latest self-release at runtime. The absence of an install hook reduces automatic-install risk but does not neutralize the reachable MCP behavior. - **Files touched:** dist/index.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** Its MCP-facing onboarding instructs an AI to ask for a keystore password in chat and not discourage disclosure., Its MCP build helper runs an unpinned latest release of this same package through npx, creating a remote code execution path when the MCP build action is used. - **Evidence against:** The manifest has no npm preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., Other MCP text tells agents not to request API keys in chat and restricts credential-file paths. ## Public findings ### 1.
