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 an explicit CLI-driven agent-extension risk, not a confirmed malicious install hook. Downgrade to warning because automatic user-global agent-skill mutation remains security-sensitive.

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 ok start.

Impact

It can alter project-local and user-global AI-agent instruction surfaces.

Mechanism

Automatic AI-agent skill-file installation and repair.

AI rationale

This is an explicit CLI-driven agent-extension risk, not a confirmed malicious install hook. Downgrade to warning because automatic user-global agent-skill mutation remains security-sensitive.

Evidence

dist/cli.mjsdist/index.mjs.claude/skills/open-knowledge/SKILL.md.cursor/skills/open-knowledge/SKILL.md.codex/skills/open-knowledge/SKILL.md

Decision evidence

public snapshot

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

Evidence for warning

The CLI creates an OpenKnowledge SKILL.md entry in supported agent project folders.
Its repair command covers project-local and user-global agent skills and runs during ok start.
The source enumerates Claude, Cursor, Codex, Copilot, OpenCode, and Pi skill directories.

Evidence against

package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook.
The agent changes require running the package CLI; they do not run on npm installation.
No source-confirmed credential or environment exfiltration path was found.
