Explicit \`ok start\` can repair existing OpenKnowledge MCP registrations in supported user and project AI-editor configuration files. No install-time execution or exfiltration was confirmed. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-15T01:54:17.161Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-15T01:56:02.515Z - **Download time:** 1278 ms - **Static scan time:** 18175 ms - **AI review time:** 85900 ms - **Total time:** 105354 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Explicit \`ok start\` can repair existing OpenKnowledge MCP registrations in supported user and project AI-editor configuration files. No install-time execution or exfiltration was confirmed. - **Trigger:** User runs the \`ok start\` CLI command. - **Impact:** May modify an existing first-party MCP entry in user or project AI-agent configuration. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/start-D\_Gfcl0\_.mjs, dist/repair-mcp-configs-8YO27I4W.mjs, dist/write-project-skill-DUj7e5tZ.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-15T01:56:02.515Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Automatic migration of existing OpenKnowledge MCP configuration entries. - **Rationale:** The package is not malicious: no lifecycle hook, theft, remote payload, or stealth persistence was established. Its automatic repair of existing agent-editor MCP entries is a concrete, bounded lifecycle risk that warrants a warning. - **Files touched:** .claude.json, .cursor/mcp.json, .codex/config.toml, .mcp.json ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for:** \`ok start\` automatically invokes an MCP configuration repair sweep., Repair scans user and project editor configs and rewrites an existing non-canonical OpenKnowledge entry. - **Evidence against:** package.json defines no npm lifecycle hook; execution begins through explicit CLI commands., Repair returns without writing when the managed entry is absent or already canonical., No credential exfiltration, remote payload execution, or destructive behavior was confirmed. ## Public findings ### 1.
