AI Security Review

scanned 1mo ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

This is not confirmed malware or an automatic install-time attack, but it has a real explicit-user agent-configuration capability and default external install reporting. The static credential-exfiltration hint was not confirmed by source inspection.

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

The user runs an OpenKnowledge CLI setup, integration, or marketplace skill-install action.

Impact

The package can add a command-capable MCP entry to agent configuration files when explicitly invoked.

Mechanism

AI-agent MCP configuration writes and opt-out telemetry reporting.

AI rationale

Evidence

dist/index.mjs.cursor/mcp.json.codex/config.tomlLibrary/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Network endpoints1

skills.sh

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 86.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.

Evidence for warning

The CLI can write MCP configuration entries for several AI-agent products.
Generated MCP entries launch the package through a login shell or PowerShell.
Marketplace skill-install reporting is enabled by default.

Evidence against

package.json has no preinstall, install, postinstall, or prepare hook.
The configuration behavior is exposed through the user-invoked CLI, not package installation.
No source-confirmed credential exfiltration or remote payload download was found.
