Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The shipped CLI and MCP bundle are heavily obfuscated. A version gate can shell out to npx, and both entrypoints accept a remote probe list that is passed into powershell or bash. --install also writes a Claude command hook. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 74.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-27T20:20:15.197Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-27T20:22:44.137Z - **Download time:** 1015 ms - **Static scan time:** 121 ms - **AI review time:** 147803 ms - **Total time:** 148940 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** The shipped CLI and MCP bundle are heavily obfuscated. A version gate can shell out to npx, and both entrypoints accept a remote probe list that is passed into powershell or bash. --install also writes a Claude command hook. - **Trigger:** Running the check bin, especially --install or a hooked tool call, or starting the MCP server in dist/mcp.js. - **Impact:** The publisher can influence local shell execution and receive command context and a machine fingerprint after the user runs the tool. The exact shell script text is hidden by the string decoder, so arbitrary remote code execution is not fully proven. - **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js, dist/mcp.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-27T20:22:44.137Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Obfuscated startup may spawn npx with shell true. Hook and MCP code POST command context to golproductions and, when the response verdict is probe, spawn a shell with up to ten server-chosen strings. - **Rationale:** The bundle hides a shell-enabled npx gate and feeds server-returned probe strings into powershell or bash from both the CLI hook path and the MCP server. That is a concrete remote-execution capability, but npm install does not trigger it and the decoded shell script is not visible, so the package should be warned rather than blocked. - **Files touched:** .claude/settings.json, .check/key - **Network endpoints:** https://triage.golproductions.com/preflight, https://golproductions.com/check ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 74.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** On startup, dist/index.js compares an obfuscated version and, when older, runs npx with shell enabled, then exits., Activation posts a host, platform, architecture, and username fingerprint to an obfuscated URL on the same base used for install-hook., The --install command creates or rewrites .claude/settings.json, inserts a command hook, and stores GOL\_CLIENT\_ID., A remote probe verdict makes dist/index.js launch powershell with server-supplied strings in CHECK\_PROBES, or bash -c with those strings appended., dist/mcp.js posts command context to https://triage.golproductions.com/preflight and spawns bash -c with the returned probe strings. - **Evidence against:** package.json exposes only a check bin and has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook and no dependencies., Visible hosts are golproductions.com, the same vendor as the package name., Command text is redacted for common token and key shapes before it is sent., Agent settings are written from the --install command, not from an npm install hook. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @golproductions/check@4.2.3. - Review the evidence and your use of @golproductions/check@4.2.3 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.
