Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. Installation automatically launches an opaque native client-repair routine.

The routine is designed to install or reconcile command hooks across Claude lifecycle events. - **Trigger:** npm installation runs the postinstall lifecycle hook. - **Impact:** It can alter a separate AI-agent control surface without an explicit user command, allowing the package binary to run during Claude events. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/reconcile-install.mjs, lib/update.mjs, bin/mikie.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-12T08:18:14.501Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Postinstall native Claude hook reconciliation and command-handler registration. - **Attack narrative:** The postinstall hook directly executes a reconciliation script. That script launches the package native binary with a Claude-hook repair command during prepare and commit phases. The source constructs command handlers for every Claude hook event, while related code names Claude configuration files under the user home directory. This is unconsented install-time mutation of a foreign AI-agent control surface. - **Rationale:** The automatic lifecycle hook establishes a concrete AI-agent control-surface mutation chain through an opaque native binary. This meets the install-hook abuse blocking policy even though the inspected JavaScript does not show credential exfiltration. - **Files touched:** .claude.json, .claude/settings.json, .claude/mikie-evidence-hook-ownership.json ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The package runs a reconciliation script automatically in postinstall., The install script invokes a native binary to prepare and commit Claude hook repair., The source defines command handlers for every listed Claude lifecycle event., The same codebase identifies Claude configuration and ownership files in the user home directory. - **Evidence against:** The JavaScript uses shell:false for its native command launches., No direct credential collection or network exfiltration is visible in the inspected JavaScript. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @getmikie/cli@1.1.118. - Avoid installing @getmikie/cli@1.1.118. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. - If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment. ## Public findings ### 1.
