This remains warn-only unless evidence shows foreign-agent hijack through preinstall/install/postinstall, hidden persistence, exfiltration, remote code execution, or other concrete malicious behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-15T01:54:25.423Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-15T01:56:02.792Z - **Download time:** 1276 ms - **Static scan time:** 9924 ms - **AI review time:** 86169 ms - **Total time:** 97369 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** No install-time attack surface was confirmed. The CLI can alter OpenKnowledge project/editor integration only when the user explicitly runs its setup or removal commands. - **Trigger:** User runs an OpenKnowledge CLI command such as \`ok init\`, \`ok deinit\`, or \`ok uninstall\`. - **Impact:** Can modify or remove OpenKnowledge-owned project integration state and editor MCP entries after explicit invocation. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/cli.mjs, dist/native/index.js, dist/chunk-5QMZ5MUS-D8tv8KWc.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-15T01:56:02.792Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** User-invoked project MCP/editor integration setup and removal. - **Rationale:** Not malicious by source inspection, but its explicit CLI-managed AI/editor integration is a capability that merits a warning under the firewall policy. No concrete unconsented attack chain was found. - **Files touched:** .ok/, .claude/launch.json, .git/info/exclude, .git/ok/ - **Network endpoints:** https://api.github.com, https://api.openai.com/v1, http://127.0.0.1 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for:** Explicit \`ok deinit\` mutates project MCP/editor and Git integration state., Explicit uninstall requires confirmation unless \`--yes\` is supplied., The package ships a native addon loader. - **Evidence against:** No npm preinstall/install/postinstall lifecycle hook is declared., Config mutation is a documented user-invoked CLI operation, not install-time behavior., The evaluated-code primitive is a sandbox that blocks eval/Function and sensitive process access., Observed network use is GitHub, localhost services, and a user-configured embeddings endpoint; no exfiltration chain was found. ## Public findings ### 1.
