@inkeep/open-knowledge@0.76.0

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

User-run ok init writes this package into many third-party agent MCP and skill configs; that is explicit dual-use setup, not an npm install hook. Native .node addons and incomplete parse coverage of huge minified files keep residual capability unresolved, so this cannot be marked clean.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review

Trigger

A user runs the open-knowledge or ok CLI after install, especially ok init with MCP registration enabled.

Impact

Connected agents may load this MCP server; unreviewed native binaries and minified chunks remain residual dual-use risk, not a proven install-time theft chain.

Mechanism

User-command MCP and skill registration in foreign agent configs

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 74.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.

Evidence for warning

ok init defaults to registering this package as an MCP server in selected editors.
Init maps Claude, Cursor, and other agents to mcpServers plus skill files such as .claude/skills/open-knowledge/SKILL.md.
Native NAPI-RS .node addons are loaded to rewrite TOML MCP configs and cannot be fully inspected as source.
Skill install reporting sends event, source, skill, and agent names to add-skill.vercel.sh.
The published bins are user-run CLIs; large minified chunks still failed static parse, so leftover eval, dynamic require, and network primitives were not fully traced.
The bundled eval hit is a sandbox deny list that throws on eval rather than executing it.

Evidence against

package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall scripts.
GitHub tokens are used for GitHub or GitHub Enterprise device-flow and gh CLI login, not a hidden third-party dump.
High-similarity files are vendor marked, mermaid, and NAPI-RS loader code.
Auto-init on other CLI paths runs with mcp disabled.
