Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged as agent extension risk** — Allowed by default with warning: install-time first-party agent extension setup was detected. - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Product-default install policy:** Warn - **Firewall policy:** Warn-only agent extension risk - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Agent extension lifecycle risk - **Selected version:** 0.72.0 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. No concrete malicious install-time behavior or credential exfiltration was found. The latest-version MCP launcher and broad agent integration configuration create a real but user-configured extension lifecycle risk. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-14T13:57:14.788Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-14T13:58:59.191Z - **Download time:** 1526 ms - **Static scan time:** 20412 ms - **AI review time:** 82464 ms - **Total time:** 104403 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** A configured MCP integration can launch a shell or PowerShell shim that obtains and executes the latest package release through npx. This is a first-party agent-extension lifecycle risk, not install-time malware. - **Trigger:** A user configures an OpenKnowledge MCP integration and the host agent starts it. - **Impact:** A later registry release can execute in the agent host context, and the integration can modify agent configuration files. - **Evidence paths:** dist/index.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-14T13:58:59.191Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** AI-agent configuration points to a shell launcher that resolves the latest package release. - **Rationale:** No concrete malicious install-time behavior or credential exfiltration was found. The latest-version MCP launcher and broad agent integration configuration create a real but user-configured extension lifecycle risk. - **Files touched:** .claude.json, .cursor/mcp.json, .codex/config.toml, .copilot/mcp-config.json, opencode.json, .openclaw/openclaw.json, .hermes/config.yaml, .pi/extensions/open-knowledge.ts ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** Its MCP launcher invokes npx with @inkeep/open-knowledge@latest, allowing future registry code to run when the configured MCP service starts., The package contains global AI-agent integration paths and shell-based MCP launchers for several host applications. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, postinstall, or prepare lifecycle hook., The native loader is generated NAPI-RS platform-selection code., The high-similarity diagram and chunk findings are bundled renderer and Markdown-parser code, not an attack chain., No credential harvesting or outbound secret exfiltration was confirmed. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @inkeep/open-knowledge@0.72.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @inkeep/open-knowledge@0.72.0 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
