The explicit CLI can configure and remove its MCP/editor integration in a project. No install-time or covert attack chain was confirmed. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-15T01:49:59.138Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-15T01:51:48.636Z - **Download time:** 1513 ms - **Static scan time:** 10928 ms - **AI review time:** 97057 ms - **Total time:** 109498 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** The explicit CLI can configure and remove its MCP/editor integration in a project. No install-time or covert attack chain was confirmed. - **Trigger:** User runs OpenKnowledge setup or deinit commands. - **Impact:** May modify OpenKnowledge-owned project integration entries and related project state. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/cli.mjs, dist/native/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-15T01:51:48.636Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** First-party MCP/editor configuration lifecycle management. - **Rationale:** Source inspection contradicts the scanner's malicious conclusion, but the package has an agent-extension lifecycle capability that warrants a policy warning. It is not a publish-block case because activation is user-commanded and no covert or exfiltrating behavior was found. - **Files touched:** .claude/launch.json, .git/info/exclude, .git/ok/ ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for:** User-invoked CLI manages OpenKnowledge MCP entries and .claude/launch.json., Deinit also targets project git-exclude entries and an OpenKnowledge shadow repo., Native loader permits an environment-selected native library path. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, postinstall, or prepare hook., Config removal is labeled as OpenKnowledge-owned and preserves non-OK MCP entries., No source evidence of credential exfiltration, remote payload download, or stealth install-time execution. ## Public findings ### 1.
