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

AI Security Review

scanned 25d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

This is a first-party CLI that, on an explicit init command, writes skills and MCP entries into several editor control surfaces, with both user and project scopes checked by default. There is no install hook or hidden exfiltration chain, so the behavior is a guarded agent-setup capability rather than an install-time hijack.

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 person runs the open-knowledge or ok init command, or the matching deinit command.

Impact

Editors in the chosen scope receive this package's skill and MCP server configuration. No install-time mutation, credential export, or remote payload execution was found.

Mechanism

Init resolves host skill directories and user or project MCP config files, prompts for scope with both levels checked by default, then writes the product skill and MCP configuration. Deinit removes the product launch.json entry and related project paths.

AI rationale

Evidence

package.jsondist/index.mjsdist/init-CRhBH-xN.mjsdist/cli.mjs.claude/skills.cursor/skills.codex/skills.cursor/mcp.json.codex~/.claude.json.claude/launch.json

Decision evidence

public snapshot

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

Evidence for warning

The package exposes only the open-knowledge and ok CLI bins and has build/test scripts, with no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook.
Library code maps many editor hosts to project skill directories such as .claude/skills, .cursor/skills, and .codex/skills.
Init resolves user-global MCP config paths, including Cursor mcp.json and the Codex home config directory.
The init prompt offers user-level and project-level MCP scopes, both checked by default, and returns no scope when MCP is disabled.
Deinit plans removal of the product entry in .claude/launch.json and other Open Knowledge paths inside the project.

Evidence against

Agent config writes are reached from the CLI command, not from an npm install lifecycle script.
The MCP scope choice is an interactive prompt that can be skipped when MCP is turned off.
The skill and MCP targets match the package's stated local knowledge-base and editor integration purpose.
