The bootstrap selects all agent adapters by default and writes behavior-bearing agent configuration, including MCP configuration. - **Trigger:** npm install of the package in a project - **Impact:** Alters instruction, skill, and MCP-control files for multiple AI-agent platforms without an explicit user command. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/src/postinstall.mjs, dist/src/adapters.mjs, dist/src/bootstrap.mjs, dist/src/paths.mjs, assets/enterprise-ai-agent-os/.mcp.json - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-14T17:13:09.364Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** unconsented postinstall bootstrap of broad AI-agent control surfaces - **Attack narrative:** On installation, the lifecycle hook calls bootstrap with non-interactive approval flags. Adapter selection defaults to all registered platforms, then bootstrap writes scaffold files and managed instruction sections into the target repository. These include broad AI-agent configuration directories and a shipped MCP configuration, creating or modifying foreign agent control surfaces without an explicit user setup action. - **Rationale:** This is concrete install-time mutation of broad, foreign AI-agent control surfaces. It meets the blocking policy despite no observed credential exfiltration or remote payload download. - **Files touched:** AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, GEMINI.md, .ai/, .agents/, .claude/, .codex/, .github/, .cursor/, .windsurf/, .mcp.json, .ai-agent-kit/ ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** postinstall invokes non-interactive bootstrap in the installing project., Bootstrap defaults to every registered AI-agent adapter., Bootstrap writes generated files into project AI-agent control paths., Shipped scaffold adds an MCP server configuration. - **Evidence against:** No source evidence of credential harvesting or network exfiltration was found., Writes are limited to declared project configuration paths, but occur without user invocation. ## Public findings ### 1.
