@inkeep/open-knowledge@0.71.13

Local-first, agent-friendly Markdown knowledge base with a cross-platform CLI and web editor

AI Security Review

scanned 1mo ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

This is not malicious install-hook behavior because it has no registry lifecycle hook and its sensitive mutations are reached through explicit CLI commands. The AI-editor configuration capability remains a real user-invoked control-surface risk.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source

Trigger

A user runs an OpenKnowledge setup, repair, deinitialization, or uninstall command.

Impact

It can change AI-editor integration state and project-local OpenKnowledge files, so its use should be deliberate.

Mechanism

Explicit CLI management of MCP configuration and skill bundles.

AI rationale

Evidence

dist/cli.mjsdist/registry-probes-CsVWQEtn.mjs.claude/launch.json.agents/skills.ok

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 82.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for warning

The user-invoked CLI can create and remove MCP editor entries and AI skill bundles.
The package includes commands that can read stored GitHub credentials and use a supplied token for GitHub API authentication.

Evidence against

package.json contains no preinstall, install, postinstall, or prepare lifecycle hook.
The package exposes its functionality through named CLI binaries rather than automatic installation-time execution.
Observed network use is for GitHub authentication and local loopback service calls; no credential exfiltration endpoint was found.
The native loader performs platform detection and loads packaged native bindings; it is not an installer.
